Fleming, Mike Jr. (April 30, 2021). "Franchise Fever! Netflix Lands U.S. Rights To 'Gunpowder Milkshake' From STX & Studiocanal". Deadline Hollywood. 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). Amid all of the action is the message that having compassion can prevent you from hurting others and lead you toward a more courageous path. Also, it takes courage to protect others, even if it means putting yourself at risk. And protecting what's important can take teamwork with like-minded people. How important are family and teamwork in Gunpowder Milkshake? What emotions are at the center of Scarlet and Sam's relationship as mother and daughter?

Why is the film's heavy female focus notable for the action genre? Can you think of other female-centric movies like this? What positive representation did you notice here?

Predictably, we’re left with an open ending, the prospect of more to come on the way, a new series waiting to be milked.

Do they redeem a bizarre ending that unnecessarily absolves Sam of any wrongdoing, but of course leaves open room for a sequel? They do not. But when Gunpowder Milkshake has so few successes, Headey’s half-smirk, Bassett’s exasperated line deliveries, Gugino’s set jaw as she steps behind a mounted machine gun, and Yeoh’s effortlessly cool eyepatch-wearing will have to do.

So why does she spend Gunpowder Milkshake doing an ineffective Uma Thurman impression instead of cultivating her own take on Sam? The film opens with a beautiful shot of a slash of red light illuminating only Sam’s eyes in a dark, blood-spattered apartment, but then its first hour drags because of the way Gillan mistakes stiffness for seriousness.
