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.
