A Justiceira

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}

Not a new formula, but made with love, passion and emotion. Jennifer Garner plays wonderful and you feel the pain of her character in every scene she is in, but at the same time marvel at her badass fighting skills (that she adapted offscreen, which I like by the way... not everything has to be spelled out, spin your own story). The movie is tight, suspenseful and extremely entertaining, especially since it has a shorter running time than most movies nowadays, which is welcome and takes you back to the 80s and 90s where a movie didn't have to be 150 minutes long.

At the time of writing this film has only 12% on Rotten Tomatoes.... 12!? I have no idea what film they were watching, but Peppermint deserves so much more than that.

Ok so it doesn't redefine the genre and is a tad derivative in a few aspects, but it's a very fun film to watch. It is well paced, has lots of great action, and then there's the central performance from Garner which is fantastic.

She is a veritable badass in this film! She was fully believable as the loving mother, then the grieving mother, and then the kickass vigilante. I completely bought into her transformation and the emotional journey that she took us on. She fully sold the role and was a great protagonist to root for.

All of the action was pretty nifty and always fun to watch. I would have liked to have seen a little more hand to hand combat. When we did get some it was gritty, gory, brutal and great to watch, so more of that would have been nice. But on the whole the action elements were brilliant.

The plot in these sorts of movies is always kicked to the kerb a little, and this is no exception with Peppermint, but what we did get was good. There's a good emotional set up and a few side plots and twists which were a nice addition.

Sure this movie may not live up to others in the 'one person crusade' genre, films like John Wick, Taken, or Nobody, but it's by no means a dud. A very worthwhile watch which deserves a lot more praise!

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.

Rating 8.4/10 This movie have a very good storyline, best acting action from Jennifer Garner. The story of a woman who to fight for the truth from corruption and injustice. This movie have full of thrilling action !! To all of you, go see it you wont regret it.
