You can read about the plot elsewhere. These are just my immediate impresssions.
GUNPOWDER MILKSHAKE feels like a pulpy Asian action movie with the dials recalibrated setting, references, and iconography to something more Western. I mean that in the best way.
There's a secret underworld economy of criminals and assassins and neon sign style that owes something to JOHN WICK here. Don't get so blinded by that however that you miss out on the spaghetti western, Hong Kong gangster, samurai, and even LE SAMOURAI flavors mixed in too.
All our heroes are women. All the bad guys are men. The movie doesn't seem to be making a statement though, so much as they felt like telling a story about fierce mama bear killers taking on an endless army of mobsters.
Understandable. It's great seeing Lena Headey, Angela Bassett, Carla Gugino, and Michelle Yeoh in these roles. They don't usually get to play this much. For her part, Karen Gillan shows she can be a decent lead in a movie.
