Peppermint

 

Peppermint is a revenge action thriller starring Jennifer Garner. It follows a mother, after experiencing immense loss, and after no one being held accountable, she takes it upon herself, as a vigilante, to seek the justice she feels that she deserves.

I thought that the plot was interesting but there were too many holes in the story. It wasn’t believable and it was predictable from almost the beginning.

The fight and action sequences were well choreographed but were also incredibly far-fetched. It’s hard believing a woman as small as Gardener could hold her own fighting multiple grown men at once.

I also had an issue with the lack of character development. Garner did a descent acting job with what she had to work with but it was hard connecting to her character because of the lack of any sort of meaningful backstory.

In the end this movie was a waste of time. It was a lazy attempt at a vigilante film and was not worth seeing.
