Review of Gunpowder Milkshake

Don't overthink it. That's the best advice I can give. Sure, there are a lot of things that don't make sense, but if you come to this looking for something cerebral, you're bound to be disappointed. The fight scene between the paralyzed Sam (Karen Gillan) and the three goons sent by Nathan (Paul Giamatti) will only prove that point. The clichéd dialog can be a distraction too, but it's spaced out fairly well enough to get by with. Me, I thought the title was a blast, and that's what brought me to the film. I wouldn't have expected anything more than a mindless action flick and got pretty much what I bargained for. Besides, any diner brawl backed up by Janis Joplin belting out 'Piece of My Heart' is going to win me over.
