When it comes to media variety, you'll be spoilt for choice. The player is naturally very minimalist, so as not to take away from what you're watching and, when the player is in full-screen mode, it's completely invisible. Once you've started to play a title, you'll have program-specific features, like subtitles, language, and screen options available on the player interface itself. They've deliberately kept the options to a minimum and, where there are options, they're very easy to see and change. Using the app, to both play media and to change configuration settings like the kids' controls, is very easy. These options alone are one of Netflix's best features. You can then further soft limit them by age range, or by hard limit - a PIN number. If there are any children in the house, you'll be able to set up an account for them, limiting them to the series and movies available on the children's profile Netflix Kids. Once you've sorted membership, you can create sub-accounts within the account, allowing different members of your household to have their own account with its personal settings and history. The plans are basic, standard, and premium. There are three membership plans, graded by how many screens you can watch simultaneously, and what quality video you'll be able to watch. To use Netflix, you'll need to have an account and pay for membership. This app has a sleek, simple interface where finding and playing a video or episode of a TV show takes an absolute minimum of effort. Much in the same way that Netflix revolutionized online video to make it as easy and comfortable as turning on a TV set, their software for Windows follows in the same vein. When it comes to media variety, you'll be spoiled for choice. It’s rated R.Netflix for Windows is a great, all-round experience Still, in terms of any sort of inspiration or originality, “Kate,” the movie, is every bit as D.O.A. Look, we get it, people are looking for new stuff to watch, mindless escapism included. Netflix’s emphasis on providing original movies has of late included a steady diet of forgettable thrillers with high-profile leads, including “Sweet Girl” and “Beckett,” starring Jason Momoa and John David Washington, respectively. The movie thus becomes one long bout of violence for its own sake, with the inevitability of Kate’s fate only further detracting from any suspense about where the story is heading. ![]() Still, there’s not much mystery in the “why” of it all, and nary a beat that doesn’t feel almost wholly predictable. Kate absorbs an enormous amount of punishment and dishes out far more, using guns, knives, fists and when pressed common kitchen appliances. Under the stewardship of French director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan (“The Huntsman: Winter’s War”), a movie like this ultimately boils down to the quality of the action, and it’s both plentiful and particularly bloody. There’s a pinch of “The Professional” and more recently Netflix’s considerably better “Gunpowder Milkshake” in their killer-kid bonding, which doesn’t have much time to develop with so much damage to be done before Kate’s condition becomes unmanageable. Kate’s search for those behind her demise brings her into contact with a teenage girl (newcomer Miku Martineau) who is the granddaughter of a mob boss, and as written proves annoying even by the standards of teenagers in these kind of movies. She delivers the bad news to the boss who raised her, played by Woody Harrelson, who can play this sort of appealing hitman in his sleep. In similar fashion, Kate – a Tokyo-based killer for hire – ingests a slow-acting poison, giving her a day to track down who was responsible, slashing and shooting her way through much of Japan. ![]() Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays the movie’s eponymous female assassin, in a mash-up loaded with old-movie ammunition that still comes away firing blanks.Īside from Winstead’s recent role as Huntress in the “Harley Quinn” movie, the most obvious point of reference would be “D.O.A.,” the 1950 film noir starring Edmond O’Brien (subsequently remade with Dennis Quaid) in which a fatally poisoned man spends his remaining hours trying to unravel the mystery of who killed him. Someone must be watching Netflix’s parade of mindless thrillers like “Kate” (never mind why), but even allowing for that, it’s hard to imagine a more bare-boned plot as excuses for stylized violence go. ![]()
