Peppermint – You didn’t serve justicePlot synopsis: John and starring Jennifer Garner, John Ortiz, John Gallagher Jr, Juan Pablo, and Method Man: All in all, Peppermint at best can be viewed at dinner time, but won’t be remembered for long.We’ve got our hands on four preview clips of Peppermint, the upcoming action drama movie directed by Pierre Morel based on a script by Chad St. With a decent premise “Peppermint” tries hard but fails to hold the attention perpetually. Garner’s performance too is at best okay, while the action scenes aren’t noteworthy either. But nothing packs a punch, and this must be blamed upon the Director. After the first half which is dull, the movie picks up pace and is decent in its second half, with fair amount of acting and action by Garner.

Which is surprising, given that Jennifer Garner is one of the best female action stars currently, though past her prime. This is also the biggest problem with the movie, the unimpressive action scenes. Peppermint begins with Jennifer Garner beating a guy inside a car quite easily. Editing might as well be called the best thing about the movie, making it a decent one time watch. ![]() This mediocrity is better accredited to the main cast and crew evenly, as none of them make any impact otherwise. Sadly, the movie fails to be impressive enough to be memorable even though the sub genre is one of the most popular one. 4/10 “Revenge is really the best feeling in the world, but it also leaves you the most vulnerable in the aftermath.”ĭirector Pierre Morel brings to us a revenge action thriller,Peppermint about a woman who lost her world. ![]()
