Kite is tight, but the subject matter is incredibly inappropriate as dickbelt has said.

The action was badass, but its one of those cult black market classics

Yeah, I can't really imagine this adaptation to be too close to the scource material. Mostly for the reasons dickbelt stated.

But it's good to know that Sam Jackson is still trying to be in every movie ever! :D
