Review of Peppermint (2018) by Clarkaddison — 12 Sep 2018
Jennifer Garner is trying her best. She succeeds in being a loving mother who after getting her world torn apart becomes a symbol of justice. Not like good justice but like a violent gun totting batman justice.
It sounds weird, but I believe this works well with what they are going for. After being broken and destroyed by the system she trains for years to become a killer. I love they added this. Sometimes it`s just explained by, oh golly I forgot she was military trained back in her service years.
It makes sense it takes time for her to be this way. A scared person pees themselves. THAT’S REALISM. Villains when scared resort to out lash and typical things cowards do. I love all the realism like this, even how Jennifer or Riley holds all her guns make sense.
There are some small details that continue. Jennifer gets stabbed and for the rest of the film that side, or leg hurts, and she shows it with every step. I love continuity. There is fluid action. It is in between the long shots of John Wick style action and quick edits like Taken 3.
It is a healthy mix that is easy to follow. Film name is weird, could have picked something else. All movement is military.
