“Peppermint” (** out of four) was an uneven action revenge melodrama about an ordinary housewife (Jennifer Garner) turned bloodthirsty vigilante when her husband and daughter are murdered and the corrupt criminal justice system sets their cartel of murderers free. Garner is solid and adds some spice in her first action role in a while but Charles Bronson did this pulp-revenge better in “Death Wish” and so did Gerard Butler in “Law Abiding Citizen”. Director Pierre Morel adds his usual stylistic flourishes and has a few good scenes of mean revenge but film never gets going and gathers significant momentum.
