Kite

A young woman, Sawa, is orphaned following the murder of her parents and is later taken off the streets by a crooked, Svengali-like detective who employs homeless children to do his dirty work. Trained as a killer, Sawa exacts street justice against the detective's chosen targets until she is able to break free of the abusive, manipulative control he has over her.

Khaled Hosseini's best-selling 2003 novel about two Afghan friends inspires a heartrending movie about friendship, failure and forgiveness.

Sawa (India Eisley) is a young woman living in a corrupt society where crime and gangs terrorize the streets. When Sawa's mother and policeman father are found victims of a grisly double homicide, she begins a ruthless pursuit for the man who murdered them. With the help of her father's ex-partner, Karl Aker (Samuel L. Jackson), and a mysterious friend from her past (Callan McAuliffe), she becomes a merciless teen assassin, blasting her way through the dark world of human trafficking only to uncover a devastating truth.

Samuel L. Jackson and India Eisley star in a dreary, unwatchable live-action remake of the cult "revenge girl" anime, Kite.
