The Review: Peppermint

Peppermint 1/10

Years ago when I first heard about this movie I talked mad shit about how bad the movie poster looked (click here for that). I watched this movie in two parts because I couldn't imagine sitting through this nonsense straight through. This lady gets revenge after her husband and daughter are killed by a cartel. She gets shot too but survives. Why they shoot her family? Cause her husband agreed to do a heist then changed his mind but the bad guys found out it was going to happen. The cops find out that she stole some money and traveled the world doing fucking MMA and stealing guns. So she lives on Skid Row which is now safe cause she kill folks that fuck with the homeless. The rest of this movie is dirty cops, drug dealers, and a bunch of Latino dudes getting their faces blown off. This woman gains the ability to teleport eventually. Seriously. Like, she shoots the main bad guy right in the face with dozens of cops watching who immediately open fire on her and hit her. Moments later she vanished. They find her at her family's tombstone and she dies. Then she is wakes in the hospital where the main cop gives her a key to her handcuffs and she vanishes from the hospital that is filthy with police. With such a heavy plot this movie shouldn't have been as cartoonishly ridiculous. This movie was ass.

The Peppermint Movie Poster Is Terrible

A couple of weeks ago I saw a poster for this new Jennifer Garner movie Peppermint at the bus stop. I just stared at it because something was bothering me and I couldn't quite put my finger on it until I looked at her fingers. Then her arm. I noticed that one of her arms was damn near a foot shorter than the other. Then I noticed the placement of her head. The broadness of her chest. The whole damn thing started to fall apart. This was a shitty movie poster.

I do not know who made this poster or how much they were paid for it but they did a horrible job. I use Pixlr to edit photos of myself almost everyday. I have done them for friends as well. I do not get paid for it nor would I ask for payment but I'll be damned to happily put out garbage like this. I decided to make a few images of my own for this movie. It is weird because I have seen bad posters before with terrible Photoshop happening but since I have to stare at this one at least for another week I felt the need to do something about this.

It took me about 25 minutes to whip together three images. The first I wanted to use a basic style poster with a city background. The description of the movie does not say where it takes place so I just grabbed a random one online and cropped around her. Used a small light flare to cover the hair frizz and done.
