Viewers were referring to Kate, a psychological thriller that follows its eponymous lead character, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, an assassin, whose mentor and handler (Woody Harrelson) orders her to kill a high-ranking yakuza boss. 

During Kate’s final mission, she finds out that she has been poisoned and has at most a day to live.

After learning that she was given radiation poisoning by a man named Stephen, Kate steals injectable stimulant drugs and a gun and sets out to exact revenge on who might have ordered him to poison her. 

Scenes were shot in a variety of different locations across the globe, including Thailand, Tokyo and Los Angeles.

Released in September 2021, the film had mixed reviews from critics, who praised Winstead’s performance as the lead but otherwise found the film ‘disappointingly derivative of numerous other female assassin films’. 

It compared slightly more favourably on aggregator sites – where fans gave scores based on their own feedback from the film. 

On IMDb, the picture had a score of 6.2 out of 10, with a slightly lower score of 52% on Rotten Tomatoes.
