(Due to someone not renewing the copyright on time, the film is in the public domain.) It has inspired three direct remakes: 1969's Color Me Dead, 1988's D.O.A. The basic premise of Kate is a familiar one it's essentially a twist on the classic 1950 film noir D.O.A., in which a man-a seemingly ordinary accountant and notary public-walks into a police station and says he has been poisoned, with only a few days left to live and discover who murdered him. Gunpowder Milkshake ended up feeling flat, predictable, and like an exercise in style over substance. But as with The Old Guard, nothing really jelled, and as much as I love Karen Gillan, she seemed ill-suited to the role. Just last month, Netflix served up the disappointing Gunpowder Milkshake, which had a stellar cast and all the right elements, including some impressive fight choreography. Theron was terrific, but the film itself was uneven. First, there was 2020's The Old Guard, in which Charlize Theron leads an immortal group of mercenaries on a mission of revenge. The streaming service seems to be casting about for a female version of the hugely successful John Wick franchise, but it's harder to pull off than it looks.
