An unidentified woman is engaged in a brutal fight with a man in a car and finally dispatches him with a shot to the head. Five years earlier, the same woman, Riley North, is working as a bank teller in Los Angeles struggling to make ends meet. Her husband Chris owns a failing mechanic shop. They have a ten-year-old daughter, Carly. Chris' friend tries to talk him into robbing Diego Garcia, a powerful drug lord. Chris turns him down, but not before Garcia has already discovered his involvement and ordered his men to make an example of him. Riley and Chris take Carly out for pizza and to a carnival for her birthday since no one showed up to her party. At the carnival, Carly orders peppermint ice cream. As the family walks to the car, Diego's men gun down her husband and daughter in a drive-by shooting. She is wounded, but survives.

| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfGarner tries to act as an angel of death in a bad wig, only to face the real enemy: a production team that has no idea what they're doing, even though they've done all of this before. |
| Fresh FictionCourtney HowardNot only is this fear-mongering rhetoric at its laziest, but it's also a poorly-constructed action film that does no one any favors. |
| AXS.comTom SantilliJennifer Garner...elevates this movie and makes it worth checking out in theaters, critics be damned. |
| indieWireJude DryThe new action flick Peppermint is a rare return to form for Garner, who doles out her vigilante justice with effortless charm. Unfortunately, that’s about the only reason to see Peppermint. |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamA low-grade piece of vigilante trash that she should be above. |
| L.A. BizAnnlee EllingsonPeppermint ... is beneath [star Jennifer Garner] - a brutally violent revenge story that fails to pause for any self-reflection. |
| JeremyJahns.comJeremy JahnsJust kind of fell flat as a revenge tale. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckPeppermint lacks subtlety and anything even remotely resembling credibility, but like its heroine, it certainly gets the job done. It's the sort of picture that would have been boffo on a grindhouse double bill in the '70s. |
| Pasadena WeeklyCarl KozlowskiSurely a White House gala screening awaits this ugly film, which will leave a sour taste in the mouth of any viewer with a conscience. |
