Review of Peppermint (2018) by Rob H — 09 Sep 2018

Peppermint was my violently surprising watch of the weekend. I went into this movie having never heard of it nor seen any previews and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was not expecting to feel as deeply as I did for her after ****SPOILERS TO FOLLOW**** her family was murdered and I found myself thinking "in this day of gun violence, how would we perceive such actions?" Ultimately, I found myself feeling, profoundly that if I had the same opportunities to exact revenge on those responsible for such actions against my family, I would take them.

Also, I'm not understanding all the "Critic" hate of this movie. It plays out nearly the same as Upgrade (without the tech, clearly) and it gets great reviews. The high audience ratings continue to show that professionals movie critics are out of touch with what people want to see or enjoy.
