Why doesn’t she have her own blockbuster franchise yet? Conclusion However, this is Garner’s film through and through, and she’s magnificent. Here’s hoping that after Peppermint, Hollywood continues to give the actress a whole lot of opportunities to kick ass. turning in very likable performances as a pair of agents on Garner’s trail. 7.6K views, 9 likes, 1 loves, 1 comments, 2 shares, Facebook Watch Videos from (JFID) Jaguar Film International Distribution: PeppermintMovie delivers the punch. Garner’s supporting cast is also solid, with both Annie Illonzeh and John Gallagher Jr. Much like Tom Cruise (although there are no crazy stunts here), Garner’s stunt double is nowhere to be found (or nowhere that I could catch at least), and that ensures a very authentic experience. Her intense training regiment definitely paid off, and she’s fantastic in the film’s brutal action sequences.
It’s extremely refreshing (like peppermint yes), to see the actress immerse herself in an action role once more. Quite cleverly, the film also contains a few comedic moments to contrast the heartbreaking tragedy at the center of the story.Īs expected, Jennifer Garner owns the film. We’re invested in Riley’s quest because we want her to get justice against the people who wronged her, and that makes for a number of tearjerking moments which Garner pulls off beautifully. Most importantly, the emotion fuels the action. Although the film begins in media res (you know that annoying gimmick where the story starts in the present and then flashes back five years earlier), the rest of the adventure is packed with action. Helmed by Taken director Pierre Morel, Peppermint is a fast-paced thriller about a mother who seeks vengeance after her husband and daughter are brutally murdered by a drug cartel. But does this revenge story live up to the hype? So you can imagine my excitement when I watched the trailer for Peppermint (which you can view below), and saw Garner back in her element. But before that, the lovable actress got famous for her phenomenal turn as super-spy Sydney Bristow in one of my all-time favorite shows: Alias. For the last 12 years, Jennifer Garner has played a string of rom-com love interests and forgettable moms.
