Retrieved 2021-07-19.Gunpowder Milkshake uses voiceover narration to introduce Sam (Gillan), an assassin who works for the nebulously powerful, all-male organization the Firm. “They’ve been running things for a long, long time,” Sam says, and she and her handler Nathan (Paul Giamatti) have been killing people for them for 15 years, since her mother Scarlet (Headey), also an assassin for the Firm, left her behind. Their rain-soaked, purple-lit parting took place at a diner Sam still frequents for its milkshakes after she murders her latest target, sews up her injuries, and further cultivates her terrifying reputation. But after a job goes wrong one night and she kills someone unexpected, her life begins to unravel.

Gunpowder Milkshake' Completes its Stellar Cast with 'Vikings' Star Ivan Kaye". Ivan Kaye Source. May 23, 2019 . Retrieved August 28, 2019. If everyone is super cool, and super deadly, and super nonchalant, then you need to put even more work into making the characters stand apart. They'll need specific quirks, competing goals, faults and obsessions, some key nub of characterization even if its superficial (a guy with one eye he's insecure about it, etc.). With Gunpowder Milkshake, there's nothing to work with. The screenwriters made this so much harder on themselves. I guess we're merely supposed to be won over by the casting and the imagery of these bad ladies holding powerful weaponry. The protagonist is boring. She is the familiar hired killer who grows an inconvenient conscience. That's an acceptable starting point but the moral growth is hindered when her young charge, the little girl that forces her paradigm shift, wants to be her apprentice to learn to kill people. The fraught mother/daughter relationship resorts to a lot of "I didn't want this life for you,""It's the only life I've known" roundabout conversations, and neither furthers our understanding of either side. The feminism- My problem here isn't that the film is feminist, it is that it thinks its audience is so stupid that it needs to club us over the head with it. All of the good guys are girls and all of the bad guys are men. I think the best example of the heavy-handedness of this is the villains motive. Throughout the movie we know he's mad because the main character, Sam, killed his son. This is already an understandable villain motive. It doesn't need any more context really. But the movie adds the context that the villain feels like an alien among his wife and daughters and his son was the only one he could relate to because of their shared manliness. So now the villain is sexist, but it's just shoe-horned in. It's not built up at all, he just goes on a sexist rant about his annoying wife and daughters randomly.If the barebones of Gunpowder Milkshake sound a little dug up then even the flesh that’s been added gives off a musty whiff, from the double-crossing bosses to the fetishistic obsession with guns to the eye-rolling decision to humanise an assassin with the addition of a cute child, a particularly tiresome genre trope. But while there’s barely a second you won’t be able to predict, films such as this live and die by the quality of their action set pieces rather than their inventive plotting and Papushado is, if nothing else, a skilled stage manager. The bright, flashy aesthetic means that the sequences have a rare easy-to-follow clarity often missing in the murk of other action films and while the downside is that this often highlights the budgetary restrictions, it makes for an undeniably immersive experience. The almost two-hour runtime is a little overambitious given the thinness of the material but Papushado overstuffs his film with action, appealing to thirsty Friday night audiences eager for non-stop spectacle (a deftly shot diner shootout in the final act is particularly impressive).

Fifteen years later, Sam works as an assassin for Nathan, the human resources head for the same firm Scarlet worked for. Nathan gives Sam a new job, killing a man who stole money from The Firm and returning the money. Sam goes to a weapons armory disguised as a library to exchange her weapons for new ones. There, she meets Anna May, Madeleine, and Florence - three former accomplices of Scarlet. They consider killing her for showing up unannounced, but change their minds when they learn her identity. They provide her with clean weapons for the job.

There are certainly worse potential franchises on the horizon but next time, it would be nice if there was something a little unexpected added to the blender.
