Reviews:
“Overall, Kane has its moments and is a good watch, but it could’ve been a much better, more cohesive story full of psychological thrills, suspense, and boatloads of action. Unfortunately, it winds up being just another mediocre crime drama with an interesting concept but an unfinished narrative with no real surprises.” Loud and Clear
“Kane is simply a hulking brute, at one point he sees ghosts of his victims, but that’s it, All Ryan can do is look convincing beating and shooting people […] Kane has enough going on to make it watchable, but that’s about it. Moore wastes an interesting concept and a couple of solid performances on a film whose only clever moment is a car with a front plate that reads CATCH22.” ★★ Voices from the Balcony
