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). 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.

In Germany, the film was released on April 14, 2022, on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD by StudioCanal with distribution handled by Koch Media.

April 30, 2021.Between the Guardians of the Galaxy and Jumanji franchises, Gillan is now an action star. So why does she spend Gunpowder Milkshake doing an ineffective Uma Thurman impression instead of cultivating her own take on Sam? The film opens with a beautiful shot of a slash of red light illuminating only Sam’s eyes in a dark, blood-spattered apartment, but then its first hour drags because of the way Gillan mistakes stiffness for seriousness.
