Not to be confused with the various retellings of Poes famous tale, Black Cat is a high-octane Hong Kong action thriller that provides a hugely entertaining pre-curser to the likes of Tarantinos Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003) and south Korean cult classic, The Villainess (2017). When Catherine (Jade Leung), a mentally disturbed young woman, is detained by the police after accidentally killing a truck driver, she finds herself part of a covert training system. Programmed as an assassin, having learned a host of new deadly skills, she becomes a lethal government weapon, codenamed Black Cat. Director Steven Shin (Brotherhood, Easy Money, Black Cat 2), had initially intended to make a straight up remake of Luc Bessons La Femme Nikita (1990) but when Disney bought out the rights he was forced to rethink. His solution was Black Cat, a slick, action packed gun toting thrill ride. Features: Stunning New 2K Restoration presented in original 1.85:1 Aspect Ratio 2.0 English Mono 2.0 Cantonese
