Kit, Borys (January 8, 2019). "Karen Gillan to Star in Assassin Action Movie 'Gunpowder Milkshake' (Exclusive)". The Hollywood Reporter. Gunpowder Milkshake uses voiceover narration to introduce Sam (Gillan), an assassin who works for the nebulously powerful, all-male organization the Firm. “They’ve been running things for a long, long time,” Sam says, and she and her handler Nathan (Paul Giamatti) have been killing people for them for 15 years, since her mother Scarlet (Headey), also an assassin for the Firm, left her behind. Their rain-soaked, purple-lit parting took place at a diner Sam still frequents for its milkshakes after she murders her latest target, sews up her injuries, and further cultivates her terrifying reputation. But after a job goes wrong one night and she kills someone unexpected, her life begins to unravel. Common Sense is the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of all kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century. All the gunmen are killed except for Virgil, Jim McAlister's nephew, who kills Madeleine and kidnaps Emily. Virgil calls Sam, who offers to turn herself in at the diner in exchange for Emily's freedom. Sam arrives to meet Jim McAlister who explains that his late son had four older sisters that Jim could not relate to as he does not understand women. Jim intends to torture Sam and make Emily watch, but Scarlet, Anna May, and Florence arrive with guns to free them. Sam takes Emily and leaves the diner before the three women kill Jim and all his henchmen.

Families can talk about the amount of violence in Gunpowder Milkshake. How did it make you feel? How does it help or hinder the film's story? What's the impact of media violence on kids? Nevertheless, there are some thrills to Gunpowder Milkshake for those who are willing to ignore the tedium. A fight in a dentist’s office, with a gun and a scalpel taped to Sam’s hands as she whirls, spins, and takes on three baddies, takes its time capturing Gillan’s body, from her awkwardly efficient flailing to her split-second problem-solving. A car chase where Emily sits on Sam’s lap and helps her drive around a parking garage, zooming and drifting and reversing away from two cars of pursuers, is well-paced. And although the major mid-film fight scene suffers from such jarring editing that even Michael Bay might say, “Hey, guys, cool it,” the second hour of Gunpowder Milkshake absolutely improves when Headey, Gugino, Bassett, and Yeoh have more screen time. Their screen presences are so unique, and their comedic timing is so good (Yeoh’s droll “It’s a tooth” when she pulls something out of her hair) that they somewhat balance the film’s other disappointing elements. Kit, Borys (May 10, 2019). "Michelle Yeoh Joins Karen Gillan in Assassin Thriller 'Gunpowder Milkshake' ". The Hollywood Reporter. Amid all of the action is the message that having compassion can prevent you from hurting others and lead you toward a more courageous path. Also, it takes courage to protect others, even if it means putting yourself at risk. And protecting what's important can take teamwork with like-minded people. Kit, Borys (May 6, 2019). "Paul Giamatti Joins Karen Gillan in Assassin Thriller 'Gunpowder Milkshake' (Exclusive)". The Hollywood Reporter.If the barebones of Gunpowder Milkshake sound a little dug up then even the flesh that’s been added gives off a musty whiff, from the double-crossing bosses to the fetishistic obsession with guns to the eye-rolling decision to humanise an assassin with the addition of a cute child, a particularly tiresome genre trope. But while there’s barely a second you won’t be able to predict, films such as this live and die by the quality of their action set pieces rather than their inventive plotting and Papushado is, if nothing else, a skilled stage manager. The bright, flashy aesthetic means that the sequences have a rare easy-to-follow clarity often missing in the murk of other action films and while the downside is that this often highlights the budgetary restrictions, it makes for an undeniably immersive experience. The almost two-hour runtime is a little overambitious given the thinness of the material but Papushado overstuffs his film with action, appealing to thirsty Friday night audiences eager for non-stop spectacle (a deftly shot diner shootout in the final act is particularly impressive).
