Peppermint is a been-there-done-that flick. If you've seen one, you've seen them all. Essentially this is the Death Wish plot that has been done over and over. But what this movie has going for it is the "return" of Jennifer Garner. If you are a fan of Alias, then you are sure to enjoy watching Jennifer kicking ass and nothing else. I had the movie "figured" out from start to finish. That is till the epilogue. With her vengeance complete, in my script, I had her dying. Having killed every last motherf*cker that had a hand in her family's demise and the court system as well, I would be ready to just end it all to join her family in the afterlife. Who would want to continue onward? Well, that's how I saw it. But the epilogue SCREAMS sequel and it's clear that the Studio wants another Taken, Equalizer, John Wick franchise and this is how they will go about it. With all that out of the way, I did enjoy the movie in spite of the obvious plot holes and whatnot. My only criticism would be that the Villain(s) in the movie never rose to heights they needed to be to make Jennifer's quest more perilous. They all came across as rank amateurs. Worth a Rent at best.
