      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Far from refreshing, Peppermint wastes strong work from Jennifer Garner on a dreary vigilante revenge story that lacks unique twists or visceral thrills.

      Tammy S💜 This movie was Action/🔥🔥🔥 from start to finish. A definite must watch 💝💝💝 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/22 Full Review Bobby G This is another film that I will never understand the low ratings. It was fantastic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/24 Full Review D M Don't care what the critics think, I enjoyed this film & Jennifer Garner is badass in it! As a Mother of 1 child (daughter), I couldn't imagine the amount of crazy I would become in that situation. But I would hope I would be the same badass person!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review John S This is a solid, kick-ass, extremely watchable movie with a well-written plot and excellent direction - great score, also - think "Jane Wick". I enjoyed the heck out of this film - Jennifer Garner is simply amazing - this is deserving of a sequel, and a long franchise. (13% from the critics? What movie were *they* watching?) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review viffer 8 Looks like the movie snobs … sorry critics got this wrong according to the ratings. It's the female John wick and I love it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Amir A Jennifer Garner's Character Riley Just went crazy in this role. I know she had to Avenge her Husband and Daughter(Brutal Deaths Btw) but she was just brutally disgusting with her Kills. There are Some major plot holes and becomes really boring to the point where I just sat there playing my Nintendo Switch and checking the time for when this was going to end. The Ending is so weird and I couldn't tell you another Characters name except from some drug Lords, cops and two children where the girl was really annoying. Also the Storyline is very Familiar as it takes a similar approach as The Punisher aka; Frank Castle who is trying to hunt down the people tha killed his wife and son. So this movie was very original(not).Overall Peppermint (2018) is a hard watch as it's brutally boring and has nothing going for it. Don't Watch!

      Andrea Thompson Chicago Reader Bad timing can kill a movie that has everything going for it, but the problem with Peppermint isn't so much bad timing as tone deafness on an egregious scale. Jan 26, 2019 Full Review David Stratton The Australian Peppermint is jaw-droppingly ugly, horrendously violent, implicitly racist and routinely handled. Rated: 1/5 Dec 14, 2018 Full Review Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) From a broader perspective, the film marks an intriguing new stage in Hollywood's ongoing effort to figure out what action movies about women (and aimed at them) should look like. Rated: 3/5 Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Lonita Cook KCTV5 News at 9 I really like the weightiness that [Jennifer Garner] brought to the material. Oct 13, 2021 Full Review Nicolás Delgadillo Discussing Film I cannot, in good conscious, recommend that anyone go see and support this movie. Rated: 0 / 5 Jun 25, 2021 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse John Ortiz caps off the action with one of the silliest speeches in action movie history. And that bar is pretty high. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
