This doesn't look that great. Jennifer Garner is not that great an actress and there is no real good bad guy in this. it is just a series of "baddies" for her to conveniently shoot. I bet the whole budget outside of her salary was strictly low rider tires and roach coach food trucks exclusively. Trash.

Not watching the trailer, but i'll check out the movie. Been awhile since i've seen Sydney Bristow in action.:whew:

I miss Sydney Bristow and especially Spy-Daddy. It's been a while since I've watched ALIAS, so perhaps I'll start. She's not a great actress, but she could've/should've been a great action star. She had what it takes for that. Elektra should've been a darker movie, to push her from goodie girl next door, to edgy.

Looks like Law Abiding Citizen mixed with Sicario :hhh:
They could have gotten a better actress for the role
Perfect analogy. I was thinking this LAC all over again just with more useless action. She trained for 5 years. Add some Kill Bill in it.

The way Hollywood has turned Mexican organized crime into a catch all evil, similar to how Russians were done in the 80's, and ME people in the 90's, would be hilarious, if it wasn't such an ugly and accurate reflection of society as a whole.

Edit: not to mention the demonization of black and mexican gangs in the 90's

I'm not Mexican, and tend to lean towards HYON on other folks issues as of late, but looking at this trailer last night at the show I got lowkey offended myself. Even the title, Peppermint comes off like some bigoted sh!t to me. The timing of this flick is all kinds of bad to me. Trump types are literally going to be jerking off to this "film" when it drops. I mean literally too, especially when they get to watch it privately at home.
