What to Know

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. Jan 26, 2019 Full Review David Stratton The Australian Peppermint is jaw-droppingly ugly, horrendously violent, implicitly racist and routinely handled. Rated: 1/5 Dec 14, 2018 Full Review 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 Dec 12, 2018 Full Review Lonita Cook KCTV5 News at 9 I really like the weightiness that [Jennifer Garner] brought to the material. Oct 13, 2021 Full Review Nicolás Delgadillo Discussing Film I cannot, in good conscious, recommend that anyone go see and support this movie. Rated: 0 / 5 Jun 25, 2021 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse John Ortiz caps off the action with one of the silliest speeches in action movie history. And that bar is pretty high. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

natashia What a great movie really can watch it a million times and every time I will love it more Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Tammy S💜 This movie was Action/🔥🔥🔥 from start to finish. A definite must watch 💝💝💝 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/22 Full Review Audience Member This movie was great. Acting packed and great acting. The "reviewers" on here are acting as if Citizen Kane is the barometer for every great film. They are wrong and haters. The elites on here think they are Siskel and Ebert. More like Beavis and Butthead. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/25 Full Review Matthew T I can not believe that this movie has such a low rating. Looking at some of the comments If you want romance or a family friendly movie, why would you even watch this, Sometimes you just want a good old fashion revenge movie. I think this deserves a second movie but it needs move violence. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review joey x if you ever wondered what early 2000s elektra would be like if she was on some punisher timing this is it and literally the peppermint patty karen caused them to go out the the festival and the father was a idiot but anyway they wouldnt have been caught in the crossfire but i really love how riley became the angel of the hobos Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/13/25 Full Review Real O Movies like this is why you listen to the audience reviews instead of the critics reviews Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
