Riley North (Garner) is a totally ordinary suburban American housewife. Her husband's business is struggling badly, she's being bullied by a more wealthy neighbor, and she's worried about money and her young daughter's social life, which is threatened by her petty feud. Little does she know she has much more to worry about. Husband Chris (Jeff Hephner) has agreed to rip off a vicious drug dealer, Diego Garcia (Juan Pablo Raba) to get his family back in the black. Chris gets cold feet, but not before Garcia gets wind of the plot, and decides to punish Chris by wiping out his entire family. In the ensuing slaughter, however, only Chris and daughter Carly, nicknamed "Peppermint," are killed. Riley is only wounded, and after recovering testifies against the shooters. However, dirty drug money works the scales of justice, and the killers walk. Riley, on the other hand, ends up shunted off to a mental institution by the crooked judge. She escapes, however, and disappears off the face of the earth.
Years pass, and the two detectives who worked the murders, Carmichael (John Gallagher Jr.) and Beltran (John Ortiz) are still haunted by them. So too, however, is someone else, because the shooters are starting to turn up all over the city, slaughtered like sheep. Is it just a drug war, or is someone else working an angle? Diego Garcia wants to know, too, because while his star is rising, the Mexican Mob who supplies him is coke is perturbed by his inability to keep the peace. And when the judge who let the killers walk dies a horrible and humiliating death, it seems the impossible has happened: the once meek-and-mild suburban housewife has come home to exact vengeance. What follows is a curious triple hunt. Riley hunts Garcia, who is hunting Riley, and the cops are hunting them both, while simultaneously trying to understand how Miss Meek became The Punisher-ette during her mysterious time away from the city.
If all of this sounds a little tropey or predictable, what elevates PEPPERMINT from the usual boring action revenge story is as follows:
First, Jennifer Garner. She gives a very good performance, or rather set of performances, as a harassed housewife turned murderous vigilante. She is insane with grief and hatred, but it's a controlled insanity, which only a good actress could portray.
Second, the look and atmosphere of the film are very well done, with more than a touch of old-school Film Noir in the darkened, puddled, neon-reflected city streets.
Third, the pace is very, very fast without becoming a meaningless blur. There is no fat on the script or in the story, but it never feels rushed, either, and while the editing is brisk, it never hits that awful jump-cut MTV style that is so popular with hack directors trying to appeal to attention-deprived audiences.
Fourth, there are some good twists in the plot, which are at once predictable and not predictable -- you expect the twist, but you are probably wrong in your deduction of who will perform it.
Fifth, Riley is not presented as invincible because she is angry and has a righteous grudge, a mistake many lesser films make. She gets busted up. She gets hurt. She feels pain and she bleeds. The fact she drags onward with her quest thus becomes admirable and tragic simultaneously.
There are a few problems. An attempt to show how famous Riley has become by constantly referencing her presence on social media is silly, annoying and seems to pander to Millennials who live on their phones. Who cares if Riley is "trending?" We don't need to be told that Twitter supports her to feel sympathetic toward her: she has our sympathy from momet one. Also, Riley goes a bit overboard humiliating and terrorizing her petty, vindictive former neighbor, who she somewhat unfairly blames for being partially responsible for her daughter's death. The character deserves some of it, but not as much as she gets. And as always in this sort of film, a heftier than normal dose of suspension of disbelief is required. Garcia is well portrayed, but he's a generic villain and isn't nearly intelligent or competent enough to have come as far as he has in the drug world if one semi-sane vigilante can tear his organization to bits.
Having said this, I consider PEPPERMINT to be a brutal but pleasant surprise. Revenge films often bore me because they always assume that the desire for revenge confers special powers on those who seek it. This Pierre Morel-directed film manages to embrace that conceit while more or less dodging it completely by making her so tragic. Like Michael Caine's character in HARRY BROWN, the vigilante is not portrayed as an offender but rather as a victim, which makes all the difference. As the saying goes, before you seek revenge, first dig two graves.
This is another example of when bad movies happen to good actors. I don't want to get too long winded explaining what all is wrong with this movie. I will say this for it though, it is chock full of potential. The execution fell a little too short. I'm glad I was able to catch it on a cheap rental. Anyway, it would have been better if we got to see all 6 of the bad guys get their comeuppance instead of throwing it in the dialogue and showing the aftermath. That was a big fat DOUBLE L: Lame and Lazy. To only see the judge and the gang leader get theirs was just cheap.
At least the bit of action wasn't completely awful. I gave it 3 stars because the acting didn't suck and it's not Jennifer Garner's fault the movie fell short and at least the action was decent enough and she executed that nicely.
Lastly, I suppose one way to redeem this is if there is a director's cut. Lots of times for many reasons what we see isn't always what was intended. Not sure if there will be a director's cut though. I don't think it was a popular enough movie.
No wallowing, self-pity or emotional scenes that drag on and on. Great pacing, Garner suprisingly convincing. Wish real life was more like this movie
