Gunpowder Milkshake 2021fight scene, Directed and co-written by Navot Papushado, ‘Gunpowder Milkshake’ is an action thriller movie that follows an elite assassin named Sam who has no option but to fight against the ruthless criminal syndicate she works for to save Emily, an innocent 8-year-old. Her reckless actions have put Emily in the middle of a gang war. Now, Sam must regroup with her lethal associates and estranged mother (also an assassin) to take on the army of henchmen that will stop at nothing to take everything from them.
With power-packed performances by a talented ensemble comprising Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, Carla Gugino, Chloe Coleman, Michelle Yeoh, Angela Bassett, and Paul Giamatti, the mindboggling action sequences in the film can take anyone’s breath away, making them wonder where those scenes were filmed. If you find yourself wondering the same, we have got you covered.
Gunpowder Milkshake is Netflix’s next action thriller, out on the streaming service July 14. The film centers on Sam (Karen Gillan), a fierce hitwoman who is forced to reunite with the assassin mother who abandoned her years ago in order to protect a young girl from a mission that’s spun out of control.
Gillan spoke to Screen Rant about the physical training required for her intense action scenes, as well as the fascinating dynamics between Sam and her mother Scarlet.
You play Sam, who is such a cool character. She’s a straight up badass, but she’s emotionally vulnerable. Can you tell me a little bit about Sam’s backstory and what interested you in the role?
With an abundance of style and a deficit of substance, Gunpowder Milkshake features an impressive lineup of stars -- ones who you really want to watch kick a ton of ass -- but wastes them with a regrettably empty project that lands with a muddled thud.
A “comic book movie“ that’s not based on a comic book, Gunpowder Milkshake presents us with a hyper-stylized bubble world of shadowy money men, female assassins, an endless supply of disposable thugs, and a lone library that’s meant to supply and train members of the “Sisterhood.“ Greats Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh, and Carla Gugino play the stewards of the library while the MCU’s Karen Gillan plays a lone killer being targeted by - yup - the very organization she works for. Gillan’s Sam is the daughter of Lena Headey’s Scarlet, a hitwoman who was forced to run out on her little girl 15 years earlier. Now Sam must reunite with Scarlet, and join forces with the Sisterhood, in order to take down The Firm. It sounds more fun than it is.
Despite the neon colored-sets and an attempt at a noir-ish, pulpy production design, Gunpowder Milkshake is dragged down by . dialogue, rote action sequences, and just an overall lifelessness. As mentioned, it’s assembled an awesome-on-paper, award-winning cast, including Paul Giamatti, and then gives them clinically dry lines to say and tedious roles to portray, as if their mere presence was supposed to be good enough. And, sure, the “hitman running from their own boss“ story isn’t new, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done in a fun or fresh way. Gunpowder Milkshake dresses up this time-honored tale with hot pinks and retro diners and a cutesy malt shop aesthetic but that’s all it is: a sugar-coated sheen. The rest is a tonal mess that at its best is quirky “cool“ and at its worst is bland and boring.
In an attempt to display its own unique landscape -- like a Sin City or a Kill Bill, or even other decent Tarantino/Rodriguez copycats -- Gunpowder Milkshake creates an interesting snow globe but then can’t quite manifest the rest. It wants to employ Tarantino’s use of a contrapuntal soundtrack but it doesn’t work. It wants its star, Gillan’s Sam, to be a cosplay-ready heroine with her bowling jacket and a gun tightly taped to her hand (her arms get paralyzed at one point) but it feels forced. And there’s really no attempt made to have any of the characters be funny or interesting.
To give the story a touch of heart, Chloe Coleman enters as Emily, a young girl who Sam must protect while also fending off her own company’s crazed, screaming goons. Gillan’s Sam is an effectively hard nut to crack so it makes sense that she be given a young ward. But then everyone else in the story is also a gruff, steely badass so it makes Sam feel less special by comparison. Only Carla Gugino’s Mathilde gets to sneak in some personality, embodying the polite and kind front-facing bespectacled librarian of the Sisterhood. While everyone else is just being tough, she’s allowed to present a small amount of warmth and, in a way, humor.
