[b]My take: Pure unadulterated kill the bad guys shoot 'em up take no prisoners take out the trash bullet hose action adventure goodness.
Death Wish with boobs.
What’s not to love?

She might be a flaming liberal and I don’t see what she found in that loser Bin Aflact, but I enjoyed her action in the Kingdom movie when she used a folder to stab the Mooslim terrorist. I probably will go to see this one too.
The J Garner/ Saudi nut stab might be my favorite movie fight scene of all time. I will be watching Peppermint asap
Are millennial men just to wussy to be action stars these days, or what? :cray:
Honestly, it’s almost a formula remake of every “Death Wish” plot movie you’ve ever seen, but with some interesting innovations. The action is fast and unrelenting. My girlfriend and I saw it this weekend and both of us had aching bladders at the end of the movie because we were afraid to miss something if we went to the restroom in the middle of it. My advice: don’t drink any liquids before seeing this film; you won’t be able to find a good spot to miss while you’re in the bathroom.
As liberals go, though, at least she’s not on the nutcase fringe:
Garner, a Democrat who’s campaigned for both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, recently told The Washington Post that she understands why President Trump resonates with so many people, including some from rural areas in her home state of West Virginia, and expressed openness to his agenda. She even joked that she’d be willing to meet up with Trump and work with him.
My take: If I judged every piece of entertainment by the politics of the participants I’d probably just have to sit and stare out the window.
Jennifer Garner is not a millennial. And the current trend in action movies seems to be showcasing, er, more veteran characters in action roles. (Most action stars don’t really get their breakout roles until they’re in their thirties, anyway, so the oldest millennials are only just now reaching the age where they’d make it into big budget action movies. Like Chris Hemsworth (Thor, Red Dawn), Chris Evans (Captain America, Snowpiercer, and he just barely qualifies), John Boyega (Star Wars, Pacific Rim: Uprising)… and a lot of actors I thought might be young enough to be millennials were born too early. And these guys are almost all landing roles as very young, inexperienced persons, which doesn’t seem to be what people want in their semi-plausible, stylish action heroes in the early-21st Century.)

Here is her fight scene.
You’re gonna LOVE “Peppermint.”
Almost believable, but I just can’t get into movies where uber pretty thin women like her go all action hero like that. I simply can’t suspend my disbelief for it to enjoy such movies for the most part.
I agree with Will on this. Gina Carano is a better fit imho. Haywire.
Good thing nobody has taught blondy to throw a punch or she’d be dangerous…LOL…
Yeah, fat girl picked the wrong cheerleader to mess with.
Peppermint is being released on the heels of the re-make of Death Wish, studios steal ideas from one another.
Some of you guys haven’t been keeping up with the vigilante genre with female leads. Jodie Foster made a fantastic film entitled The Brave One eleven years ago.
There are some others with female leads like I Spit On Your Grave (2010 which is a re-make of the 1978 original) but the other titles escape me at the moment, some 60’s/70’s exploitation films in there as well.
Would love to see Rosamund Pike make a movie like this. 
Actually if she threw correct punches she’d probably break fingers. It wasn’t elegant but the windmill hammerfists were probably the best thing she could do.
Yeah that would be sweet, big fan of her’s.
I bet she has brothers. My youngest daughter is a scrapper and dirty fighter, courtesy of her older brother. He’s got a 100# on her and won’t lay a finger on her any more.
