Gunpowder Milkshake tries too hard to be a stylised female John Wick. It needed more inspiration instead of ripping off Hong Kong action movies.
It also lacks the heavy duty gunfire of John Wick and the playfulness of Keanu Reeves.
Sam (Karen Gillan) was abandoned by her hitwoman mother Scarlet (Lena Headey) some years earlier.
The older Sam has followed in her mother's footstep by becoming an assassin for her boss Nathan (Paul Giamatti.)
When a job goes wrong. Sam needs to look after a little girl and get help from three women who were her mother's comrades called the librarians
There are some nice touches such as the diner shootout. However the story is thin, the movie overlong and Michelle Yeoh is the real standout when it comes to action.
