Angela Bassett, Michelle Yeoh, Carla Gugino, Lena Headey, and Karen Gillan in Bloody 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.

Loved it!

Great movie! Definitely recommend. It's fast-paced and enthralling. Amazing cast! And it's also really funny. One of the best movies i saw in 2021.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Takes a major talent

To ruin a film with such a strong cast, but this proves that a really bad script and clueless direction can do it. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer." Please check out my list "167+ Nearly-Perfect Movies (with the occasional Anime or TV miniseries) you can/should see again and again (1932 to the present))

Just Fun

I like a stylistic action movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, and has some originality. Letting the ladies prove there's too few female lead action movies... Because they do better than many of the guys. It's an enjoyable watch with several good action scenes that actually let the ladies flex their action chops. I had fun watching it.

John Wick Rip Off, but sort of fun

The film gets no points for originality as it's John Wick with girls. That being said, if you like action movies, it's pretty fun. Karen Gillan was good. Not a great movie, but I'll definitely tune in for the sequel. Worth a watch if you are a fan of the genre.

Like "Shoot em up"

If you liked "shoot 'em up" for 2005... It's like a sequel... It just has the added Assassin Organisation trope to go with it... Enjoy the action, comedy and simple storyline...!

Goofs
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.
