The people behind Peppermint need to hear the more uncomfortable discussions their movie provokes. They need to listen, take note and realize that in 2018 they should be better than this.September 10, 2018
With so many plot holes, a paper thin attempt at a story, and detrimental stereotypes, Peppermint is more frustrating than anything else and is an example of the ways in which Hollywood needs to shed its own biases.September 07, 2018
Peppermint is not some model of equality, it's just violent escapism that happens to have a woman in the lead role.September 10, 2018
A forgettable mediocrity, flavored with trite revenge cliches.September 07, 2018
Whatever moments of fun there are watching Garner infallibly tear through the ranks of the drug gang are canceled out by the movie's lack of creativity and imagination.September 07, 2018
There was a time when a woman being the star of her own bad action franchise could have been considered the apex of progress, but that time is past.September 06, 2018
A laughably bad melange of blood, guts and racial stereotypes.September 07, 2018
The title, with its slight echo of the 1973 Pam Grier vehicle Coffy, promises a sticky confection of feminism and violence, but the movie it's selling is a desultory drag.September 10, 2018
Every event, character trait and line is so cliché, it almost seems as though the movie wants to be a parody.September 09, 2018
Jennifer Garner...elevates this movie and makes it worth checking out in theaters, critics be damned.September 10, 2018
Leaves a trace of slime that's hard to wipe up-and leaves the feeling that it would be better for the world at large if this movie hadn't been made.September 10, 2018
Unless you're a card-carrying member of the Jennifer Garner Fan Club who is determined to watch every last entry on her IMDB page, there's no justifiable reason to recommend Peppermint.
