Well, I must admit that I was having a bit of expectations to the 2021 movie with the odd title "Gunpowder Milkshake". Why? Well, simply given those that were on the cast list.
I must say that I was definitely loving the movie's cover/poster, because it have that retro-feel to it. And that certainly helped sell the movie to me.
"Gunpowder Milkshake" is a great action movie, so thumbs up to writers Navot Papushado and Ehud Lavski for that accomplishment. And it was good entertainment from start to end.
The storyline is good and well-written, offering a heap of action to the viewers, as well as some fair enough character development and character interactions thrown in between the action scenes. So I was definitely more than adequately entertained.
Visually then "Gunpowder Milkshake" was just a blast. The fight scenes were well-choreographed and equally well executed on the screen. It was definitely a joy to watch those action scenes.
And of course it should be noted that "Gunpowder Milkshake" had a fantastic ensemble of actors and actresses to portray the character and bring the story to life on the screen. With the likes of Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh, Carla Gugino, Lena Headey and Paul Giamatti, you know it's bound to be good. And I must admit that while I wasn't particularly familiar with lead actress Karen Gillan, then I will say that she definitely carried the movie quite well.
"Gunpowder Milkshake" is a great action movie, kept very much in the spirit of the 1990s action movies, especially those from Hong Kong. But yet, there was something cinema noir about the way the movie was filmed and the cinematography, which surely added a unique touch to the overall feel of it all.
I was very entertained by director Navot Papushado's 2021 movie. My rating of "Gunpowder Milkshake" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
