Studio Canal has released the first trailer from Navot Papushado’s throwback female assassin action thriller “Gunpowder Milkshake”. Sam (Karen Gillan) was only twelve years old when her elite assassin mother Scarlet (Lena Headey) was forced to abandon her. Sam was raised by The Firm, a ruthless crime syndicate who turns her into a fierce hit-woman over the next fifteen years. When a high-risk job goes wrong, Sam must choose between serving The Firm and protecting the life of an innocent girl – Emily (Chloe Coleman). With a target on her back, Sam has only one chance to survive: Reunite with her mother and her lethal associates: The Librarians (Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh and Carla Gugino). These three generations of women must now learn to trust each other, stand up to The Firm and their army of henchmen, and raise hell against those who could take everything away. Paul Giamatti and Adam Nagaitis co-star in the film which Papushado co-wrote with Ehud Lavski. The film will hit Netflix in the United States on July 14th and score a theatrical release in several other countries through StudioCanal around the same time or a few weeks later depending upon the territory.
Girl power John Wick Librarians. Will watch. Trailer is what I call a 'synopsis' trailer- pretty much gives you the entire plot. I don't need that, Hollywood.
This came out on Netflix earlier this week. Wife and I watched it last night. The movie is pretty fun, sort of like a less serious John Wick plus some of the action sequences are pretty inventive. The story and characters are all pretty thin but wife and I really enjoyed it. Its an easy watch. B-
Pleasantly surprised. I thought it would be a hyper stylized Sucker Punch knockoff but it wasn’t. Plot was very thin but the fight scenes were both great and sometimes funny. The music was fantastic, too. I’d give it a B. Fun watch.
we started it, couldn't get into it, turned it off about 1/3 through. will have to try it again sometime
It gets better as it goes along. I enjoyed the mother-daughter reunion talk because I took a dump and missed it.
