Better than average action movie. Garner is compelling as lead. A little slow getting started then moved along the last 2/3 of movie. Good choice for a matinee or eventually a rental.

It's a ok movie. It isn't a good movie nor a bad movie. The movie is slow at the beginning and sad at the beginning. There are a lot of action scenes in this movie. Also the plot is ok and another revenge movie.

I thought the idea was good, but the execution of this movie was poor. Personally didn’t think that Jennifer Garner was the right fit for this movie.

Stereotypical revenge movie. Garner played her role well though. This is a perfect movie to watch at home via Redbox when you got abasolutely..Nothing. And I do mean Nothing..else to do.

I've seen this theme in a thousand movies in my life..drowned out by gunfire. I've forgotten it already.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was just not good. The first 5 minutes of the movie give you the idea that you are about to watch a groundbreaking (seriously, they kill the girl?), emotionally strong movie with a strong foundation and background story. However, nothing is further from the truth when Garner suddenly emerges from a five year absence as a fully combat-ready-super-assassin, with no more then a 3 second Youtube video as explanation of how she got there. The movie than goes on to bore you for another +/- 90 minutes with pretty much standard one-of action movie writing and “unexpected” plot twists. After having seen the trailer I was under the impression that this would finally be a one-of action movie worth watching, couldn’t have been more disappointed. Expand

Pretty simple premise. Had a hard time buying into the main character's transformation. All in all a so-so popcorn eating action film with a ridiculous title choice.

Very cliché and unbelievable revenge action movie. It starts out pretty good, but gets totally unbelievable in a hurry. In the end you'll be glad it's over, that's something I guess.

Garner is great. The action is solid but the story lacks depth and focus. In what could have been a female "Punisher," instead wastes a great performance by Jennifer Garner

Peppermint is about as generic as they come when compared to others in the revenge action movie genre. There is little in the way of plot to explain the lead characters inexplicable transformation into a killing machine after the short intro-Peppermint is about as generic as they come when compared to others in the revenge action movie genre. There is little in the way of plot to explain the lead characters inexplicable transformation into a killing machine after the short intro- not even a montage But if you're willing to accept that there are some decent action scenes to carry you to the predictable ending. Sadly i never felt truly invested in Riley's need for revenge - i could never get behind the emotional impact of the death of her family and the subsequent kill spree. It just felt like jennifer garner doing what she does best a la electra and alias. Despite its average all roundness this was an enjoyable watch and certainly well paced. Expand

By the numbers revenge flick. Totally implausable and at times down-right silly. But at the end of the day it was a bit of fun and perfect if you need to switch your brain off

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This felt very much like an average action/revenge thriller film - there is the woman with nothing to lose, fast paced scenes and some family scenes. The story isn't exactly fully built on, there are unanswered questions but its pretty clear its mainly meant to be a basic action film and nothing much else. Jennifer Garner doesn't do badly as the main character, Riley North but I can't say its not cliched. There is a fair amount of bloody violence, hence the rating (15 in the UK), so I wouldn't recommend it for young teens but otherwise its ok I suppose, though nothing nothing more than that. I don't think its a memorable film, so I wouldn't particularly recommend it generally either. Expand
