This film gets 5 stars because it is full of action, and I love Jennifer Garner, and on the negative side, it is full of plot holes, implausibilities, and despite being career criminals, the bad guys can't hit anything when they shoot.
First, the movie name. The only reference to Peppermint in the whole movie was when her daughter ordered that flavor of ice cream right before she dies. Why does that mean the whole movie is named Peppermint?
The lawyer comes to bribe her. A cartel doesn't have anyone else to do that? It has to be the someone who will be in court? I though that was the purpose of underlings?
The cop turns out to be dirty. Then why did he pull her out of the hospital to identify the suspects, against medical advice? Why not just let it go down to "the suspects couldn't be identified". That made no sense at all.
The villain in the movie was inconsistent. He guns down a little girl (in public in front of witnesses) for someone considering robbing him, but he hesitates to kill the homeless kids?
Jennifer Garner goes from incompetent person to ninja in just 5 years? With no formal training? She just gets it from surviving on the streets? Those kind of skills take a lot longer than 5 years to accomplish, and I bet they cost more than $10K/year to acquire.
If you go, have low expectations, and then you will not be disappointed. I thought it would be phenomenal, and when it wasn't, I was let down.
