Jennifer Garner Kicks Into High Gear In The Adrenaline-Packed, Heart-Racing Action Film From The Director Of Taken: Peppermint
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Oct. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Revenge has no limits for Riley North in the action-packed thriller, Peppermint, arriving on Digital on November 20, 2018 and on Blu-raytm Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand on December 11, 2018 from STXfilms and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. A powerful story about an underdog hero fighting for justice, the high-octane film is directed by Pierre Morel (Taken, The Gunman) and stars a stellar cast including Golden Globe® winner Jennifer Garner ("Alias," Juno), John Ortiz (Silver Linings Playbook, American Gangster), John Gallagher, Jr. (10 Cloverfield Lane, Hush), Juana Pablo Raba (The 33, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.") and Annie Ilonzeh ("Person of Interest," "Arrow").
Young mother Riley North (Garner) awakens from a coma after her husband and daughter are killed in a brutal attack on the family. When the system frustratingly shields the murderers from justice, Riley sets out to transform herself from citizen to urban guerrilla. Channeling her frustration into personal motivation, she spends years in hiding honing her mind, body and spirit to become an unstoppable force ? eluding the underworld, the LAPD and the FBI ? as she methodically delivers her personal brand of justice. From the director of Taken, this film is being hailed by critics as "a total adrenaline rush from start to finish!" (Dave Morales, Fox TV Houston).
Charged with non-stop action and kick-ass fight scenes, Peppermint on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital showcases exhilarating bonus content including a special featurette and film commentary with director Pierre Morel.
