Last thing to point out is that there is very little character development, leading to a very one-dimensional cast. I found that the premise of “young high school student has powers of death” is incredibly overused and it doesn’t work for this film at all. The film’s pacing is definitely off, as it switches from Monaka working at a cafe, murdering people, and a group of scientists on a space station.

The film is quite short, even by standards in 2007, with the film’s total run time of 58 mins. The film is the spiritual sequel to 1998’s Kite, and it doesn’t build on the original very much. Kite Liberator is one of my least satisfying picks late night on Netflix. I would like to point out that the writers to mix in an interesting space plot line with some semi-likable characters, which was a good choice to balance with their boring murder mix. I didn’t expect it even after I read the description and especially after I started watching. What really caught my eye was that there is a decent amount of gore when Monaka is murdering people. Kite Liberator has very few things going in its favor, even for a straight to dvd film. But she has a dark and terrible secret linking her past to a murderous police detective and her future to a fatal duel with the one person she loves most in the world. Could the placid face of an innocent high school girl really disguise such a ruthless killer? Monaka seems to be just an average high school girl. What the public is unaware of is that this notorious hitman is actually a polite young lady named Monaka. The police call her the Angel of Death, an unfeeling assassin who eliminates targets with grace and precision, leaving only a flurry of feathers across the bloody crime scene as a calling card.
