Film criticism to Gunpowder Milkshake: Girlpower Milfbabes

Sam (Karen Gillian) works as assassin for the company, a some shady syndicate with ties to criminals of legal and illegal variety. Already her mother Scarlet (Lena Headed) was in the service of the organization, but had to leave after a botched job the city. At the time she was twelve years old Sam back in the care of Nathan (Paul Gigawatts), the HR manager of the company, which has since then occupied the adolescents as a killer. These are now confronted with a similar situation once her mother: If the order the trigger-Sam kills the son of crime boss Jim McAllister (Ralph Ines on) who vows revenge. When they also messed up their next job and their employer thus costs a hefty sum of money, they can not protect longer Nathan and releases it to shoot down. McAllister and many of the company Killer attach themselves to their heels.

To top it all suddenly even the little girl Emily (Chloe Coleman) is in their care. With the entire underworld against him, Sam finally takes refuge in an old library, which is run by colleagues of her mother (Carla Guido, Michelle Yeah, Angela Bassett). This appears also on the scene to help her daughter out of trouble. Together, the women prepare for the final battle...

Gunpowder Milkshake is like the drink, whose name it bears, simple, full of artificial sweeteners and not particularly nutritious — but sometimes just the thing for refreshment. The fight scenes, blades, firearms and vehicles are discharged with fists are decently staged, even if they rarely the level of Keanu Reeves shooting spree, which apparently served as a model reach. Fight only one battle scene in Gangster doctor (Michael Smiley), in which Sam against three downed killers and a crippling poison in their blood stream has sprayed the same level of creative energy.

Top ensemble in one-dimensional roles

The actresses exude a lot of charm and above all, Lena Headed and Karen Gillian look as if they had in their roles the fun of their lives. Bassett, Yeah and Paul Gigawatts are severely challenged in their scenes, however, and do not get enough screen time to really leave a lasting impression. Especially in Gigawatts role could also speak of an extended cameo.

The little Chloe Coleman completes the trio of leading ladies, keeping well with the adults, even if it is in their role to a typical film child : Quick-witted, cheeky, highly competent despite her young age, but at crucial moments of the rescue needy and always on the verge of Irritation. Movie review to Gunpowder Milkshake: Girl Power Milf babes (1) Source: STUDIO CANAL The relationship between the three-generation trio is at the heart of the film and unfortunately at the same time his greatest weakness, which is mainly because that director and screenwriter Not Papushado can not seem to decide whether he can dispense with an uplifting message in his film or not.

The fact that the main characters are the one hand, presented as a cold-blooded killer inside, where the slaughter writes of opponents hordes blissful ecstasy to the perfectly made visages, they must then but morally justified radiant heroines serve in other scenes, the story can still be silly and casual as they act it anyway pretty is. Are we to Karen Gillian Sam applaud when they promoted a guy after another in the presence of little Emily into the afterlife, where she had even hard-hit by the career choice of their mother? Or should we see the women as mere victims of their environment, are desperately trying to escape from a spiral of revenge? Tensions between Scarlet and Sam and the responsibility of the main characters for their predicament be back simply not addressed at the end. We are just looking forward well that the bad guys get off their fat.

murders for money and a better world

Is sold that the simple mention of authors like Jane Austen or Virginia Woolf in Gunpowder Milkshake as an important Female Empowerment, also have plenty of acts condescending to the audience. But more superficial and dishonest the relationship of the film to violence in which he gladly and extensively wallows.

Killing is bad, unless it looks cool and fun, the message seems to be here. And should be an innocent in the crossfire and lose his life, it's enough, if you apologize very nice to his family and just more and even more aggressive villains shoots over the pile. This cynicism would not be a problem, papushado would simply satisfy that its movie universe is not bound to conventional morality.

All doubts that have the figures whether their horrible deeds are then simply decomposed during the action. In the end we sell us as a happy end. Why the movie burdens our brain with any questions, even though she obviously did not matter to the screenwriter, will be my secret.

The rarely stupid narrative developments from the outside is Gunpowder Milkshake but still a fun action movie, which should satisfy most B-Movie fans with abundant brutality and a well-established main actress. The film has a release from 18 years and appears on 2 December 2021 in German cinemas.
