Peppermint (2018, D: Morel) S: Jennifer Garner

Peppermint is an action thriller which tells the story of young mother Riley North (Garner) who awakens from a coma after her husband and daughter are killed in a brutal attack on the family. When the system frustratingly shields the murderers from justice, Riley sets out to transform herself from citizen to urban guerilla. Channeling her frustration into personal motivation, she spends years in hiding honing her mind, body and spirit to become an unstoppable force – eluding the underworld, the LAPD and the FBI- as she methodically delivers her personal brand of justice.

In Theaters September 7th, 2018

Cast: Jennifer Garner, John Ortiz, John Gallagher Jr., Juan Pablo Raba
Writer: Chad St. John

I'm certain they would say it was character motivated but that "JLo in Enough" wig they have Garner in looks like shit and she looks like shit in it.

Re: Peppermint (2018, D: Morel) S: Jennifer Garner

Haven't seen Gardner star in a film in what seems like ages.

Seems similar to American Assassin, Death Wish, etc... But I'm in.

I don't understand the dislike of Death Wish above, it's one of Bruce Willis best films in years. Sure it's not fantastic, but it's good for what it was. Bruce Willis in the last 5 years or so has mostly been a B-lister anyways with a bunch of films that didn't seem worth watching... So Death Wish was a bit of fresh air in comparison.

It's about time Jen Garner gets another starring action role. She hasn't done action since The Kingdom 11 years ago.

Looks pretty badass. Her training as Sydney Bristow is finally coming into use again.

A remake with a wanning actor is a breath of fresh air? It sure showed at the box office

For Willis fans perhaps.

She has not gone completely MIA and has done several movies over the years

^ This is what I meant. Most of Willis' films this decade have been pretty bad.

Re: Peppermint (2018, D: Morel) S: Jennifer Garner

I'm very interested in seeing this one. A badass mom pushed over the edge going for some street justice sounds good to me! And I loved the trailer.

Re: Peppermint (2018, D: Morel) S: Jennifer Garner

My first thought was "maybe this will be what Death Wish should have been". I enjoy those revenge type action thrillers anyway. Hopefully this won't suck. I'll just Moviepass it..... Oh wait, that sucked. If it's out while I'm traveling on business will definitely be on the list.

My wife is also really interested in this, but we'll see how reviews pan out before deciding to see this in theaters or not.

Same here.
I've been smitten with Ms. Garner for quite awhile.

IDK about this. I don't typically go to the movies to look at middle-aged moms on the screen.

Should have made the movie starring someone like (nsfw)

I won't be able to see this until Sunday at the earliest due to work. Hoping it's good. The trailer looked great.

Since I'm beyond middle aged, she's still a young-un to me so I will see it at some point.
