Bob Z I have set up an account just to review this movie. It was so bad I couldn’t let it waste other people’s time too without trying to prevent it. If you only have this movie as an option, turn off your system and sit in silence. This is a perfect example of what happens when there is too much money thrown into a movie for actors, and the story is just pieced together from other movies and the director is just stealing from other successful directors for a style that they hope will sell. It’s a big puff of a movie with no semblance of a plot or direction. I guess it’s only redeeming quality is people were paid in the process of making the movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Chad T Gunpowder Milkshake is a lotta fun reminiscent of Atomic Blonde, but partially a little stylised like Sin City and maybe a little Leone thrown in too. Karen Gillan is great as the older Sam left by a mother on the lam for working a little too hard for her killer firm. Left behind Sam is cared for by her mom’s handler Nathan (Giamatti) and he turns her into a more deadly employee than her mom. Alas, she kills the wrong guy before trying to get back money stolen by a firm accountant who’s daughter’s been kidnapped and feeling a kinship for this absent parented girl she messes up badly. All hell breaks loose when wrong guy’s daddy goes after the girl & Sam & she enlists the aid of her absent mom (Headey) & her mom’s friends (Bassett, Gugino & Yeoh). It’s a freakin blood soaked free for all and just a lot of fun. Coleman is great as the little girl! Put it this way, if it made enough to order a sequel, I’d buy another milkshake. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Diana M Scarlet is a professional assassin but her last job went wrong and now she has to go into hiding, leaving her 12 year old daughter Sam behind. Sam is raised and protected by Scarlet's handler Nathan, who is the Human Resources head of the assassin organization 'The Firm" Now it is 15 years later and Sam has become Nathan's top assassin. Sam's new hit is a man who stole money from The Firm. Easy job, kill him and bring back the money. Not! The thief's young daughter (Emily) has been kidnapped and Sam takes it upon herself to rescue and protect her. But The Firm is not happy and sends more assassins to kill Sam and Emily. "You think you have a chance here? I have an army." - Virgil Now their only hope to survive is the three Lady Librarians. This is a very polished, high stylish, fast-paced action, thriller that looks and feels like a Pulp Fiction magazine come to life.... With just a touch of Anime neons and violence. The story is fueled with Girl-powered super cool assassins with super cool guns. The awesome cast really makes the story work. How can you go wrong with Michelle Yeoh, Lena Headley, Angela Bassett, and Carla Gugino. Just a pure entertaining popcorn flick. Cast - Lena Headley, Michelle Yeoh, Angela Bassett, Carla Gugino, Karen Gillan, Paul Giamatti Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Jeffrey P The plot is not as original as the sharp and shiny snazzy neon style and settings suggest, so that doesn’t help it any. We’ve already seen role reversal casts, so nothing there either. Then they introduce the kid and, as per the Netflix usual, there seems to be an overabundance of relationship drama and dialogue. This is not 2004 where a film like this might become a trendsetter, now in 2024 it barely reaches the bar for what constitutes a typical and average film in 2024. The conclusion partly delivers on the low expectations setup, but it was far too contrived. Kill Bill 3 it is not. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Gareth v Aside from a few moments, this comes across as a reject shop version of John Wick. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Daniel B Acción impecable en una historia que nos hace reflexionar sobre las decisiones impulsivas que hemos tomamos y que ahora nos afectan en nuestro presente. GunPowder Milkshake es genial. Tiene todos los componentes para ser una gran película de acción, una trama simple centrada en la venganza, un diseño de producción impecable y con suma personalidad, extras que se entregan en cada toma y que le dan un dinamismo brutal en cada una de las cientos de escenas de acción en montajes fenomenales. Una trama que expone de forma interesante el concepto de la venganza, viéndola más cómo un obstáculo en cuanto a resentimiento y resolución en vez de como una solución al conflicto, (el factor de cientos de películas de acción), el darle ese giro al concepto de la venganza que hemos visto que se ha estandarizado en Hollywood cómo una norma en él género, para mi es lo que le da su propia identidad. Una película que a pesar de volcar todo su foco en un desenfreno de acción se da el tiempo de ser introspectiva con sus personajes, aunque sea de forma superficial, la película se encarga de dotar de tridimensionalidad las acciones tanto de las protagonistas cómo de los antagonistas de la cinta, en la que hacen una sutil crítica rome sistemas “patriarcal” con “La Firma”, este poderoso grupo de hombres que desde un punto de superioridad minimizan las acciones que la protagonista ha hecho para ellos. Una Película que gracias a lo poderoso tanto de su discurso cómo de sus golpes logró diferenciarse en un género que muchas veces discriminamos cómo reiterativo y simplista. Una historia súper entretenida de ver. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
