Peppermint Trailer & Poster: Jennifer Garner Reminds Us She’s An Action Star

<img src="https://https://static3.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Jennifer-Garner-in-Peppermint.jpg" /><p>The first trailer for <b><i>Peppermint</i></b> has Jennifer Garner back in action hero mode, as the one-time <i>Alias</i> and <i>Elektra </i>star plays a grieving wife and mother on a quest for revenge. It’s been a minute since Garner stepped into an action-oriented part, as the aforementioned <i>Alias </i>ended its five season run in 2006, and a year before that she starred in 20th Century Fox’s <a href="https://screenrant.com/tag/daredevil/"><i>Daredevil</i></a> spinoff movie, <i>Elektra</i> as the sai-wielding assassin and sometimes love interest Matt Murdock, Elektra Natchios. But from the trailer for <i>Peppermint</i>, it looks as though Garner’s action hero instincts didn’t suffer from taking a little time off.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p>Directed by <i>Taken</i> helmer Pierre Morel, <i>Peppermint</i> is the latest in a long line of films where an aggrieved parent/spouse embarks on a violent crusade for justice, as only they can. The film is definitely in the same wheelhouse as Liam Neeson’s dad-with-a-special-set-of-skills trilogy, though the twist here is that (1) this time it’s a mother the bad guys shouldn’t have messed with, and (2) her sense of justice also involves an incredible sense of timing, as she takes five years off to train, and then begin her crusade on the anniversary of her husband and daughter’s death.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <strong>Click to continue reading <a href="https://screenrant.com/peppermint-trailer-jennifer-garner/">Peppermint Trailer & Poster: Jennifer Garner Reminds Us She’s An Action Star</a></strong><br /><br /> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://screenrant.com/peppermint-trailer-jennifer-garner/">Peppermint Trailer & Poster: Jennifer Garner Reminds Us She’s An Action Star</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://screenrant.com/">ScreenRant</a>
