Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)
Directed by Navot Papushado this film stars Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, Carla Gugino, Michelle Yeoh, Angela Bassett and Paul Giamatti. A young woman working as an assassin accidentally kills the wrong person and gets herself in a heap of trouble.
Essentially this is a female lead film in the style of John Wick with a nod to Luc Besson. There are plenty of bad ass women in this film but no depth at all to the script or character relationships, there are some token nods to feminism however it is nothing more than lip service really. My problem with the action sequences, which are what should carry the film, is there is never a decent wide shot when you want one.
3/5
