This movie has a wildly great cast, including Karen Gillan,
Lena Headey playing her mother, Carla Gugino, Michelle Yeoh, and Paul Giamatti. I wanted to see it mainly for Gillan, I love everything she does, and she is great here as the lead character, Sam.
Sam last saw her mother, who turns out to be an assassin, about 15 years earlier. In their favorite soda shop, sharing a milkshake with two straws. Thus the title, "Gunpowder Milkshake." Mom disappeared as a way to insure Sam would remain safe.
Now her mother shows up again, during the 15 years Sam has become an equally lethal assassin. Just in time, because a large crime syndicate has been wronged and the two ladies, along with their "library" friends, must band together to defend justice.
OK, so the movie is made in a very entertaining style, the ample blood and gore are so "OTT" that you don't take it seriously. When Sam gets shot she just shrugs it off and stitches herself back together at the next opportunity.
Not everyone will enjoy this movie but for me it is totally entertaining. The script is inventive and the movie is shot very interestingly.
At home, streaming.
