Finding a story that fits at the plot level, that has credible reasons to justify a beginning, development and ending is what every director looks for when facing a new film project. This is the case of director Pierre Morel who, in exclusive statements, stated: "I was looking for an action film that had a woman as protagonist and I found the idea convincing". A finding that allowed him to carry out Peppermint.
Having Jennifer Garner again as the leading character of an action movie allowed him to find something distinguishing in the plot, because as he explains: "Riley (the name of Garner's character) is not what you always expect from a hero in movies where they usually have a past as a spy or military operator. In this case, she was a normal person and the trauma she experiences transforms her into something else, a woman focused on justice," he said.
Peppermint. A relentless search for justice
Riley had a beautiful family with her husband and daughter. But suddenly everything changes. They are killed by a mafia with important contacts in power. Without finding a satisfactory solution, she will be the one to carry out a plan to find absent justice.
