Riley North's world is torn apart when her husband and daughter are killed by gang members. After the legal system fails her, she vanishes for years and returns equipped with the physical and tactical training to go after those she believes are responsible.
Peppermint sits squarely in the action-thriller tradition built on personal vengeance. The film tracks Riley’s pursuit as she confronts a system she views as rotten, spanning criminals, middlemen, and institutions that fail to deliver justice.
Directed by Pierre Morel, best known for Taken, the feature film targets fans of thrillers and action movies built around an isolated protagonist facing off against a criminal organization. Its mood may also appeal to viewers who enjoy vengeance tales like John Wick.
This Prime Video debut puts Jennifer Garner back in the spotlight with a physically demanding role, following action-hero parts that have long defined her career, most famously in the series Alias.
