Gunpowder Milkshake

What's is about?

Gunpowder Milkshake is a candy noir action film about Sam who is an assassin for a living. She is marked for execution when she decides to save a young girl, Emily against the wishes of her corporate bosses, the Firm. Sam must survive, save Emily, reconnect with her estranged mother and take down the bad guys. She is aided in her quest by librarian weapon dealers Madeleine, Anna May and Florence.

What to expect

It's a fun action film about family togetherness, while being a professional assassin. With a cast of well-known female stars it is likely to have broad appeal to fans of action films. While the violence is stylised and cartoonish, the use of blunt trauma, as well as a depiction of the neck of a decapitated body is likely to shock and disturb children. The frequent and upbeat bloody violence is likely to inure younger teenagers to its use by presenting violence as entertainment. There is occasional use of highly offensive language.
