I couldn’t finish the first 20 minutes of it. That’s how bad _Gunpowder Milkshake_ is. I feel horribly embarrassed for the people who made it. How did it pull in so many big names? I usually avoid the content that Netflix produces since they’re rarely any good, but I thought this movie might have some promise. Damn, was I wrong. The fact that people will be tricked into thinking this is halfway decent because of all the pretty faces and Netflix ‘feminism’ makes me feel physically ill.

This is just _John Wick_ if you gender swapped it. Movies like _Nobody (2021)_, _Tenet_, are for American men to have some material to masturbate to Americans killing Russians because their dog died. Totally normal male behavior. But _Gunpowder Milkshake_ is for the American ladies, the liberal ‘feminists’ that love the depthless theme _"women great, men bad",_ which is reductive and gets us nowhere but apparently it’s progressive. This one is for you, babes, enjoy!

Literally the line: _"Gender equality. Very progressive. A feminist."_ They legit call the main character a smart, strong and independent woman unironically. Can you go more corny than that? It's a movie where all the women can do no wrong, are intelligent and also super human. You never feel like the main character is in danger cause none of the cartoonish men can even come close to her abilities. Honestly, the men in this film are dumb to a point where it's like the guys from _Home Alone_. Hollywood script writers FINALLY need to learn you can have awesome female character without having to make all of the male characters braindead idiots. Also, they need to stop this trope where skinny women fight and overpower multiple men who are 3 times their own body weight.

There are lots of “jokes” in this movie that are not funny at all but I LOLed at the casting - 47-year-old Lena Headey being the mother of 33-year-old Karen Gillan haha. So funny. Karen Gillan simply doesn't have the presence to pull this role off, I didn't believe she was a badass assassin just because she looks mean. I hope I will never ever have to hear her American accent again, it sound like she’s swallowing the middle of every word. Why hire so many British actors if you’re going to make them use American accents? They sound horrible. American liberal feminists love the intersectional feminist cast - this movie feature blatant racial tokenism with the black woman being angry, and the Asian woman who is a mystical martial-arts expert, of course.

The whole “female empowerment” trope is painfully undeveloped and just thrown in the most shallow, generic way. All style, no substance. Weak story (that's barely a 20 minute short story), some of the most poorly written characters I’ve ever seen, and a bunch of dead-eyed performances from some famous actresses.
