Not the worst thing, some fun action sequences, but the script and over-acting leave a decent amount to be desired.

This movie is a totally shameless ripoff of John Wick only with an all female crew, but much less believable or interesting. Replace the High Council with the "Firm", the Continental Hotel with the "Library" and "Diner" and well...you get theThis movie is a totally shameless ripoff of John Wick only with an all female crew, but much less believable or interesting. Replace the High Council with the "Firm", the Continental Hotel with the "Library" and "Diner" and well...you get the picture. It's just alright. Expand

After watching trailer I thought it looked kinda cool and will be interesting and with good action but in the end the story wasn't that good and a bit dumb in general and action could've been better. It was average.

It was average. I wouldn't say bad though (maybe some reviews also are lower because it does feel a bit like a bit of version of John Wick but anyway action movies do often seem similar anyway) Expand

It reminded me of Smokin' Aces, Terminal, John Wick, Hotel Artemis and Atomic Blonde, and just a little bit of Wanted.

It reminded me of Smokin' Aces, Terminal, John Wick, Hotel Artemis and Atomic Blonde, and just a little bit of Wanted.
So it goes without saying that originality is not a highlight of this story.

And if you want to add other cliches, she has an adolescent trauma in the absence of her maternal figure, and while escaping from other assassins, she ends up taking care of a little girl.

I don't deny that within what fits, it makes this functional, but the style is completely disposable.

Although it will only be distributed by Netflix in the US, Gunpowder Milkshake looks totally like a film made to get lost in its catalog after you get some fun with it the first few days after its release, because it's obviously a novelty.

But to believe that it deserves a sequel like the one already being developed, makes me wonder what kind of faith the producers have in it, because its quality does not justify a second part.

The female cast was pretty good though.

The story and characters are unfortunately very bare bone. It doesn't help that some of the action is incredibly goofy and has fights that rely on the men being idiots.

The story and characters are unfortunately very bare bone. It doesn't help that some of the action is incredibly goofy and has fights that rely on the men being idiots.

However, the action is very stylistic, with some nice use of blood and gore. Plus the score composed by Frank Ilfman is very good and there is some great use of music within the film. The cast do a pretty good job as well. The movie is enjoyable if all you want to see is someone get stabbed or shot.

A decent action movie: Good actors in an interesting setting with colourful set pieces but with flat characters and subpar dialogue.
