Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)

Nominated for Best Action Movie at the 2022 Critics’ Choice Super Awards, Gunpowder Milkshake is about three generations of women who fight back against those who could take everything from them.

Multi-award-winner Karen Gillan (Avengers: Endgame, Guardians of the Galaxy, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) was nominated at the Critics’ Choice Super Awards for Best Action Movie Actress as Sam. The all-star cast includes five-time Emmy nominee Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones), multi-award-winner Carla Gugino (The Haunting of Hill House), BAFTA nominee Michelle Yeoh (Crazy Rich Asians), Oscar nominees Paul Giamatti (Chuck Rhoades in Billions) and Angela Bassett (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), and Freya Allan (Ciri in The Witcher).

Chicago Sun-Times’s Richard Roeper calls Gunpowder Milkshake “an insanely over-the-top, deeply stylized, bullet-riddled and female-centric riff on the John Wick movies … featuring an outstanding cast of first-rate actors clearly having a great time shooting up the joint.”
