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.

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.

David Stratton

The Australian

Peppermint is jaw-droppingly ugly, horrendously violent, implicitly racist and routinely handled.

Rated: 1/5

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

I really like the weightiness that [Jennifer Garner] brought to the material.

John Ortiz caps off the action with one of the silliest speeches in action movie history. And that bar is pretty high.

Like the Equalizer and Deathwish, this movie is what it is. Vigilante justice on steroids. Critics rating on this has me puzzled. Seems it's OK for Denzel to do it but not Jennifer? I've learned a long time ago to trust the audience. The movie is just as good as the others.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Her gun skills are actually very good. She trained for the part. I enjoyed the movie and will watch it again. I notice many of the critics knock the plot and blah blah blah. It’s enjoyable. Simple as that.
