I was recommended this movie by a co-worker who, along with me, is fasinated by "out for justice" and "vigilante" concepts in real life and on film.
Me and him are huge fans of movies such as Taken, John Wick, The Equalizer, and Jack Reacher...and after being fresh off of watching Peppermint, I will go ahead and throw Peppermint into the mix.
Look, I know we are all entitled to own our opinions, but I wholeheartedly disagree with any bad review about this movie.
The acting was good, the storyline was good, the action was good, and the ending was MAGNIFICENT.
If John Wick was a female, he would be Riley North..and to be a fan of John Wick and NOT a fan of Peppermint is to take a position which defies logic and reasoning.
If you watched this movie and did not thoroughly enjoy it, then you are simply not a fan of this "genre".
Whatever the case may be, Jennifer Garner's performance was excellent in this movie..and when part 2 comes out, I will be at the premire, front and center.
