Navot Papushado is not Illya Naishuller, Chad Stahelski, Gareth Evans or David Leitch and it shows. I was looking forward to Gunpowder Milkshake after the first trailers and I didn't expect it to be so routine and sterile. The story is very simple and anyone who has a need to deal with story in action movies can take a star off. I stopped worrying about it ten years ago and I now tend to focus on other things, but even those couldn't quite satisfy me. The visuals are solid, the music is fine, Chloe Coleman after My Spy is awesome again, and the decent R-rated action is also a pleasure. But the big disappointment for me is Karen Gillan, who on the one hand can't act much and on the other, I didn't believe her as a hired assassin. She is wooden in the action scenes, slow and because of that all the action lacks punch, drive, zest and momentum. However, there are quite a lot of action scenes and they are filmed neatly, but I didn't feel the physicality or the passion., and that's quite a problem, at least the slow-mo fight in the kitchen deserves a rewatch. If you like action movies, you won't be disappointed, the film it's entertaining and action packed enough, only that it's quite naive and not very satisfying like other action flicks even from Female heroines (Atomic Blonde).
