In a landscape that remains dominated by the likes of Zen knucklehead John Wick, Sam and her gruesome gang are alright with me.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 8, 2021

Tiresome stuff.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 19, 2021

Perfectly serviceable, if not terribly original.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2021

The film clearly sees the potential in its cast of talented women, but struggles to do right by them.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 17, 2021

Gunpowder Milkshake is the emptiest style exercise in some while, and a film which has grasped at the opportunity of post-#MeToo feminism, to a degree that's practically hilarious, with grubby male fingers.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 17, 2021

It has fist fights, car chases and bullet-ridden mayhem, most of which are empty, stand-alone spectacles and connected only by the film's overriding and embarrassingly dated formula.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 17, 2021

The saving grace is Gillan, a glint of murderous deadpan.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 15, 2021

Two great shootouts do not a great film make.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 15, 2021

Occasionally dynamic action and an incredible cast can't ultimately save this muddled, derivative film. And please don't call it 'Jane Wick'.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 14, 2021

A carnival of brutal shootings, gruesome stabbings, shocking explosions, and blood-spraying mayhem

| Aug 7, 2021

The fundamental ineptness of Gunpowder Milkshake appears to be a consequence of the exponentially swelling glut of streaming options.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 4, 2021

Gunpowder Milkshake, Netflix's latest in a long line of glossy, forgettable fare, is a flagrant reminder that execution is everything.

| Aug 4, 2021

This is a flawed movie for a lot of reasons, but it's also a pretty fun time.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 30, 2021

The simplicity (and arguably superficiality) of a certain kind of girl-power-rah-rah energy is the fuel of Netflix's unnuanced, ungraceful, often uninteresting Gunpowder Milkshake.

| Jul 24, 2021

It wants to be colorful and candy-coated, but it doesn't have enough personality to deserve the costuming and design that it has.

| Jul 24, 2021

It's a very fast ride but the fun doesn't depend on speed alone. The words are even more important.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 22, 2021

Gunpowder Milkshake stands out by accomplishing precisely what it sets out to do -- the kind of mindless treat, at least for those unfazed by the ridiculous body count, packed with a whole lot of bangs for the buck.

| Jul 20, 2021

If you're looking for grounded realism, Gunpowder Milkshake isn't it. It's a confection - a fizzy dessert that's fun in the moment but quickly forgotten.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 18, 2021

If you're going to do an insanely over-the-top, deeply stylized, bullet-riddled and female-centric riff on the "John Wick" movies, you might as well give it a fantastically ridiculous title...

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 16, 2021

After a clunky slow start filled with exposition, director/co-writer Navot Papushado seems to throw everything against the wall, covers it in blood, and hopes that something will stick.
