Gunpowder Milkshake
Karen Gillan (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle), Lena Headey (Game of Thrones), Michelle Yeoh, Carla Gugino and Angela Bassett lead this hitwomen action thriller from the director of Big Bad Wolves, following a secret sisterhood's attempt to survive one action-packed night.
Assassin Sam (Gillan), learns no good deed goes unpunished when she spares the life of a young girl and becomes the target of armed killers herself. Outnumbered, Sam turns to a handful of fellow female assassins - including her long-missing mother (Headey) - who team up to turn the tables on their attackers.

Not everyone’s cup of mayhem, assuredly... The attitude is decidedly tongue-in-cheek. The tone of the acting is so heightened it’s a shock no one gets a nosebleed.

The graphic novel-inspired world of Gunpowder Milkshake isn’t unique, but it’s admirably committed and Papushado edges his film away from the danger of pastiche thanks to an equally committed cast.

It’s a bloody feast for the eyes... you just might have to leap over the plot holes and massive tonal shifts while wielding customized mini-bayonets to enjoy the good stuff.
