Review of Peppermint (2018) by Bruce Y — 06 Sep 2018
I just saw Peppermint and all the negative reviews had me braced for a horrible movie. Instead, it was entertaining and enjoyable, especially if you like onscreen action and violence.
It basically is Death Wish, but with the refreshing twist of having a woman (Jennifer Garner) playing the avenging vigilante. Sure you have to suspend some reality to see her continuing to fight on with some serious wounds, but no one billed this as reality TV on the big screen.
Even though the plot was identical to Death Wish, Garner's ability to kill multiple bad guys was akin to John Wick. It's setup for a sequel and I hope they do one.
