Many people forget Jennifer Garner has dabbled in the action genre before, whether it’s as special agent Sydney Bristow in the hit series “Alias” or the marvel anti-heroine Elektra in both 2003’s “Daredevil” and her own solo film released in 2005. Ever since then, however, Garner has taken on roles in various other genres, including rom-coms, hard-hitting dramas, etc. With her latest attempt at action/adventure comes “Peppermint,” which more than delivers on Garner’s charm, physique, and empathy. I just wish her talents were used in something other than a predictable and uninspiring Taken/Death Wish/Punisher mash-up.
