Jennifer Garner in Peppermint (2018)
'Peppermint' is an action thriller which tells the story of young mother Riley North (Garner) who awakens from a coma after her husband and daughter are killed in a brutal attack on the family.  When the system frustratingly shields the murderers from justice, Riley sets out to transform herself from citizen to urban guerilla.  Channeling her frustration into personal motivation, she spends years in hiding honing her mind, body and spirit to become an unstoppable force - eluding the underworld, the LAPD and the FBI -  as she methodically delivers her personal brand of justice.

    Best Acting Action From Jennifer Garner

    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.

    For people who love Taken, Death Wish and John Wick. Quality film!!!

    What a great actioner, if you loved his other movie LONDON HAS FALLEN which i did then you won't be disappointed with this one.

    If you look forward to a brutal revenge flicks like DEATH WISH or TAKEN then this is right up your street. A good pace and impressive action choreography.

    Forget the overly negative criticism from the parasite critics that have an agenda with this film, its totally unfair what they are saying about this film, just remember that they did exactly the same with TAKEN and look how that turned out. The public are voicing their approval of this one aswel.

    Garner 8 (Great), Writing/Directing - 5 (Meh)

    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}

    Loved it, don't care what the critics say.

    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.

    A movie that deserves a lot more love!

    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!

    • Trivia
      Jennifer Garner trained for months in MMA fighting, knife fighting, and how to handle firearms to prepare for her role in the film.
    • Goofs
      When Riley hijacks the 4x4 & gains entry to Garcia's compound through the gate, she then exits via the back of the car. The car continues to roll forward at walking pace with a dead guy in the driver's seat. The vehicle manages to destroy the front of the house because the driveway goes downhill, and the vehicle picks up speed as it moves.
    • Quotes

      Diego Garcia: [over walkie-talkie] I can hear the pain in your voice. You're hurting. You're hurting bad. Out-manned, out-gunned. How you really think this is gonna go?

      Riley North: I'm gonna shoot you in your fucking face. And then I'll pretty much figure it out from there.
