This high-octane thriller is Netflix's most exciting original movie of July
Next week, one of the top Netflix movies for the month of July will land on the streamer — an action flick titled Gunpowder Milkshake, starring Lena Headey and Karen Gillan as fierce, gun-toting female assassins.
Honestly, I was already primed to see this one on the basis of the title alone. The trailer that Netflix released only fed that anticipation, dialing it up to 11. In the opening seconds, we see a black-clad Gillan, with a wide-brimmed hat obscuring her face, sauntering through a library. Carrying a bright yellow satchel that says “I (heart) kittens.” Of course, we all know good and well that there is zero chance that satchel contains any cuddly little furballs. She plops the bag down, and it’s unzipped to reveal a passel of guns. Oh, but you’ll also need a Jane Austen, someone says when handing her a book. Open up that tome — more guns.
Loads of style, hit-women, and lots of bullets flying
Netflix’s official description of Gunpowder Milkshake reads as follows: “When an assassin veers off mission to rescue a child, she triggers a war with a powerful crime syndicate — and reunites a gun-wielding sisterhood.”
Netflix actually has a ton of exciting content stacked up for this month, with some of the highlights including a second season of the Netflix Spanish-language original series Sky Rojo. As well as a docu-series about real-life heists called, well, Heist.
