Peppermint - A Jennifer Garner's Violent Vengeance Movie

When this movie premiered on Tuesday, I was unable to see it until only last night. It only played in 1 cinema chain, but since one of them was located very near my home, it was not difficult for me and my wife to see this. I did not choose to see it in a Dolby Atmos theater as it did not have that sound effect. Anyway let's get on with the movie now.

Brief Story Line

Riley North (Jennifer Garner - Alias TV series, Elektra etc) was a woman whose lives was torn apart when a gang of drug dealers led by Diego Garcia (Juan Pablo Raba - Narcos TV series) decided to attack on her family. Unfortunately the corrupt system and people made sure that Garcia's men never got convicted, even though Riley got the support from Detective Carmichael (John Gallagher Jr. - 10 Cloverfield Lane, The Belko Experiment etc) and his partner Beltran (John Ortiz - Fast & Furious, Kong: Skull Island etc). 

Death Wish - A Remake of 1974 Cult Classic

In a week where several major new Hollywood movies were released in the US, we were quite fortunate that 2 of them were also released in Indonesia. The first one was Red Sparrow which played on Wednesday and the other one premiered yesterday. I convinced my wife to see this one as I knew this was a remake of a movie that was very famous in the 1970s and 1980s due to its heavy violence. We chose to see this movie at Kuningan City as we had to do some errand there. We shall go on with the movie now.

Brief Story Line

A very successful surgeon named Paul Kersey (Bruce Willis - Die Hard series, The Sixth Sense etc) was having a wonderful life as ER doctor in Chicago hospital. He was having a perfect family where her wife Lucy (Elisabeth Shue - Leaving Las Vegas, Hollow Man etc) was also studying to be a doctor and their only daughter Jordan (Camila Morrone) who just graduated high school and was going out of Chicago for her college education. Paul was also very close to his brother Frank (Vincent D'Onofrio - Full Metal Jacket, Daredevil TV series etc) who seemed to be unemployed.
