Thriller. Action When her husband and daughter are gunned down in a drive-by, Riley wakes up from a coma and spends years learning to become a lethal killing machine. On the 10th anniversary of her family’s death, she targets everyone she holds responsible, the gang that committed the act, the lawyers that got them off, and the corrupt cops that enabled the murderous incidents.

	Author	Review
United States	Aisha Harris The New York Times	"'Peppermint' is a belabored exercise in lazily constructed déjà vu, without the grit or stylized ham of predecessors it so baldly steals from."	NEG
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"Ugly, incoherent and problematic (...) The character work is so thin and the politics so toxic that there is no emotional payoff beyond indifference or displeasure."	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"'Peppermint' dissolves into a series of absurd sequences in which the goons basically line up so North can punch, stab, shoot or blow them up (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] lacks subtlety and anything even remotely resembling credibility, but like its heroine, it certainly gets the job done."	NEU
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"Drably by-the-numbers (...) 'Peppermint' misfires from start to finish."	NEG
United States	Jude Dry IndieWire	"Jennifer Garner packs heat as a vigilante mom, but she deserves a better movie"	NEU
United States	Dana Schwartz Entertainment Weekly	"It becomes obvious that this film has resigned itself to the cliched mediocrity one might have predicted from looking at its poster"	NEG
United States	William Bibbiani IGN	"A modest thriller that struggles to find a balance between violent action and its inherently disturbing subtext (...) Jennifer Garner delivers a standout performance"	NEU
