Peppermint - Angel of Vengeance

Jennifer Gardner is a complete bad ass! I really liked this movie for the sheer entertainment factor. Love any movie where someone f's up the cartel🤣 Definitely her best role to date. She had to have trained hard for this movie, and it shows.

I have seen this movie 3-4 times, and enjoyed it every time. As some have said, the plot has been done many times before, however, not typically with a female vigilante. Garner is great in the role, action sequences are solid, she is believable and brings emotion to the role. Not sure what others were expecting, I'm glad they still make action movies like this.

Jennifer Garner brought everything you could want from her role, unfortunately the writer and director didn't give her much of a movie. Garner 8 (Great), Writing/Directing - 5 (Meh). Garner gave us a depth between sensitivity and cold justice, proving to us once again that she is worthy of demanding action roles. The production, unfortunately, was flat and monotone, with lots of over the top situations but no substance, which lead to inevitable outcomes without any texture or meaning. It ended up with hype but no WOW. I give this film a 6 (fair) out of 10. One critic mused that it would have benefited from more women behind the camera to give it a more nuanced tone. I tend to think that a correct assessment, substituting a talented female lead for a male action hero does not make a convincing female action story. {Action}

Peppermint was entertaining from start to finish. I don't understand why the critics have panned it. Is it a life-changing film? No, it most certainly is not. Is it an enjoyable film and does it compare favourably in its own category? Yes, it most certainly is, and yes, it most certainly does. Perhaps people are just uncomfortable with a tough female lead. I recommend it if you're a fan of revenge flicks.

This film is well worth watching.

There is a strong realistic story together with believable character acting and plenty of action to keep even the most inattentive happy.

Garner is brilliant in the role.

One to put on your watch list for a bit of light yet engaging viewing.
