Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
年轻时候卖颜值，中年卖气质+身手？
自从《疾速追杀》面市以来，好莱坞就开始出现越来越多的复仇类型动作爽片了，今年上半年才刚看过鲍勃·奥登科克版的《小人物》，现在又来了个玛丽·伊丽莎白·温斯特德版的《凯特》，并且每部都有着截然不同的特点，本片除了这满满的日本场景元素外，还有着由钋-204中毒导致的必须打激素针才能活下去的生命时限设计，就很有《怒火攻心》系列的既视感，混搭下来的效果确实还挺新奇的。而且感觉本片还相当于是把玛丽在《猛禽小队》里缺失的帅气打戏都在本片中给还了回来，可谓是让我看了个爽。但就是本片的剧情设计有些过于模板化，情节的发展和反转也都在预料之内，这方面的确不如其他同类型作品。总体来说，《凯特》就是一部即便你已经知道它的剧情平庸却依然愿意为了其爽快的动作场面而去看一看的存在，所以最后6.6分。
杀手女主要金盆洗手，然后就跟别人随便一夜情，然后就中毒了还有一天活头。然后就跟黑道老大的侄女寻找老大。最后终于找到老大。其实就不是老大下毒的，当时那个佐藤就说不是了，观众也猜到了，但是女主当时开枪打死了佐藤都不给人家说的机会。实际上都是女主的师傅和老大的顾问在搞鬼，女主真是打不死的小强啊，最后跟老大合作，各自都报了仇。女主各种受伤还中了一枪中毒太深还有一小时的命居然还能把师傅干死了，虽然故事禁不起推敲但是当个血浆爆米花看看还不错
至少女主的打戏没火药奶昔女主那么尴尬。。。
总体4.5分。打头的制片公司八十七北方，厂牌动画是火柴人打斗场面，就是flash时代著名的“小小”系列那种。果然动作设计出色，有“小小”式的巧思，虽不是开山立派、过目不忘的神作水平，也足有4分；镜头也完整，只可惜演员动作不够凌厉；但动作场面秒杀大部分好莱坞片没问题。开头没脱近几年杀手片的俗套。进入正题后全程夜景，画面5分。用光调色滤镜非常用心，高对比度还带点糖果色——杀手和小女孩萌系元素的撞色也正是全片基调，非常成功，给《这个杀手不太冷》式的组合玩出了新花样，5分。可惜情节稍显单薄，交待得也不完美，远没有动作设计和画面用心。结尾硬插的极道家庭价值观反思也不成功，只有老少姐们儿反父权的主题融合得很自然。总之找尽量好的显示器（豆瓣低分百分百是这个原因），一口气看完。喝点小酒更好。网飞电影难得佳品
这么牛x的片子为啥只有6分，就不科学?
网飞是准备量产john wick了吗？然后再扔骰子决定往里面丢点什么元素。真 霓虹背景，血浆量加满，给了电影出乎意料的好看。不过剧本还是那个剧本，没头脑和不高兴。
如果只看动作戏和剧情，那本片也就三星-三星半水准，多加的一星半在于，本片植根于一个鲜少有动作片会采用的颠覆性设定——主人公在数小时内必死。主角光环已残损坠灭——凯特即使拼尽全力，杀败所有外在敌人，也没法阻挡从身体内部渐次散溢的、由内在缓缓渗透并最终漫卷涌出的死亡。她的每一次大口喘息、踉跄趔趄、呕吐虚脱与疲累疼痛都如此真实可感。也正是在极度残损沉重的肉身阻遏下，凯特的勉力支撑才绝对地动人心魄，女性不再是欲望凝视的客体或机械的非人，而真正成为引人共情与融入的、悲喜交织的主体性存在。于是，表象、动作与剧情已然不是关键，唯有切近的情感、身体感知、个体生命终究难以回避的死亡才是我们自身与这部影片的核心。伴着女主角的自我觉醒与反思，影片持续地唤起我们的死亡意识，进入一种本真的生存状态。（9.0/10）
【Netflix】虽说Leitch不是导演但毕竟参与了制作，拿出这样的动作戏实在是有些说不过去。但开头追逐戏很不错，像极了游戏（粉丝太棒了！）
镜头语言总是让我想起昆汀（当然还是逊好几筹），杀手 黑帮 未成年女孩 复仇女杀手 ，暴力美学发挥非常好。
除了不少的日语台词，日本文化没有得以充分体现，但这毕竟是以日本为背景的故事呀。
网飞的又一款流水线作品，就差把热门标签贴在屏幕上了
网飞的东西真的是粗糙 白瞎了玛丽伊丽莎白的气质
首先一如既往，评分越低证明越值得看，豆瓣喷子太好看透了。电影架构很像当年的廣末凉子夥让•雷诺的极速追杀令，杀手和女孩拼出笑点，动作戏设计满分，女主演技也在线，打斗也给力，剧情不算新意，但没硬伤，意料之外的爽片，千万别被喷子让你错过！
还剩十几分钟都不想看了…网飞是拍这个题材上瘾了？

只记得爆爆柠檬和鬼冢虎，朱莉，凯特，斯嘉丽，玛丽，下一个谁？
同样是老美团队，看看人家融合了多少日本元素，咱们砸那么多钱给老美拍出来的有一点中国味道吗？不是说两句国语就行了
童年的缺失使现在的凯特身上有着诸多念想，炸弹柠檬、粉丝及父母。动作片想要高分，必须还得具有高层次的文戏，而家庭已经是陈年旧辞了。
这部的动作戏打得十分过瘾，不像《火药奶昔》不能尽兴
