Gunpowder Milkshake

Ignore all the negative reviews on here. This film is exactly what it says on the tin -- essentially, a female John Wick -- and it owns that. The dialogue is snappy, the performances are winking, the actors are having fun, and it's generally just a good time. If you enjoyed Keanu Reeves checking into a hotel with an infinite amount of magic coins and using all sorts of code words for guns to avenge his dog, you can handle Karen Gillan doing the same with classic works of literature to protect a little girl.

People like to overthink the quality of movies and they end up ignoring if they enjoyed it. I liked it. It was fun, slick, clever and obviously had a female John Wick flavor to it. But that's not a bad thing. It could have used better, more memorable villains and a stronger, more creative plot. Also, why is it always Russians? But other than that I enjoyed it. That's good enough for me.

I have enjoyed *every one* of these actresses in past performances, and I was so looking forward to some outstanding entertainment, but this was awful!

Bad directing, bad dialog, bad script, lame attempt at comedy, unoriginal ideas heavily "borrowed " from John Wick plots, and Tarantino style which is the worst of it.

Awful!

Great movie! Definitely recommend. It's fast-paced and enthralling. Amazing cast! And it's also really funny. One of the best movies i saw in 2021.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I think this was probably the most "fun" Iv had watching a movie in a while. It was just like a pure popcorn movie but done really well.

It was stylish and the filmmakers obviously took time and cared about it. It wasn't just like "huge fight" scenes. They thought about shots, sets, lighting and it made the difference.

I didn't love some of the characters at the start because it felt a little too "cartoon" like for me. But they didn't last long and then the movie found it's footing more and eased up on the cheese.

I would also say to make this movie even better, make it 1 hour 30. I think that would have made it flow even better.
