A Neon Sugar Rush

A review of Netflix's 'Gunpowder Milkshake'.
A Neon Sugar Rush

Gunpowder Milkshake has one of the best movie titles of the year. It’s catchy and intriguing, and actually manages to capture the ethos of the new Netflix movie itself: violent and sugary, not terribly filling but something you’ll still enjoy well enough. 

The action flick takes viewers into a John Wickian world of assassins, full of librarian arms dealers, ‘50s-style diners, and near-omnipresent neon lighting.
