Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh, Carla Gugino, Lena Headey, and Karen Gillan in Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)
Sam (KAREN GILLAN) was only 12 years old when her mother Scarlet (LENA HEADEY), an elite assassin, was forced to abandon her. Sam was raised by The Firm, the ruthless crime syndicate her mother worked for. Now, 15 years later, Sam has followed in her mother’s footsteps and grown into a fierce hit-woman. She uses her “talents” to clean up The Firm’s most dangerous messes. She’s as efficient as she is loyal. But when a high-risk job goes wrong, Sam must choose between serving The Firm and protecting the life of an innocent 8-year-old girl - Emily (CHLOE COLEMAN). With a target on her back, Sam has only one chance to survive: Reunite with her mother and her lethal associates, The Librarians (MICHELLE YEOH, ANGELA BASSETT and CARLA GUGINO). These three generations of women must now learn to trust each other, stand up to The Firm and their army of henchmen, and raise hell against those who could take everything from them.

      At 35:31, Sam is shot in the arm, just above the elbow, about 3 inches below the writing on her bowling jacket. At 41:42 when she goes to the doctor, the bullet hole is now on her shoulder, well within the writing on her jacket and above it.
    • Quotes

      Scarlet: You are an incredibly impressive young woman. There's not a single person on Earth I'd rather kill people with.

      Sam: Thanks, mom.

    Just a very badly made movie :(
    I have enjoyed *every one* of these actresses in past performances, and I was so looking forward to some outstanding entertainment, but this was awful!

    Bad directing, bad dialog, bad script, lame attempt at comedy, unoriginal ideas heavily "borrowed " from John Wick plots, and Tarantino style which is the worst of it.

    Awful!
