Which is surprising, given that Jennifer Garner is one of the best female action stars currently, though past her prime. This is also the biggest problem with the movie, the unimpressive action scenes. Peppermint begins with Jennifer Garner beating a guy inside a car quite easily. Editing might as well be called the best thing about the movie, making it a decent one time watch. This mediocrity is better accredited to the main cast and crew evenly, as none of them make any impact otherwise. Sadly, the movie fails to be impressive enough to be memorable even though the sub genre is one of the most popular one.
