pre-MCU much-derided superhero movie, with a pre-Batfleck Ben Affleck miscast as the titular (and blind) Daredevil, vigilante by night and lawyer by day, alongside an equally miscast Jennifer Garner as Elextra Nachios.

Colin Farrell, however, chews the scenery as Bullseye whilst Michael Clarke Duncan does make an imposing Kingpin, and some of the fight scenes (particularly in the directors cut) are effectively brutal - talking of which, if you must, the Directors Cut is the one to watch - whilst a pre-MCU Jon Favreau again effectively plays the sidekick ('Foggy' Nelson instead of - in the MCU - 'Happy' Hogan).

Charlie Cox, however, is a much better fit for the role and, indeed, stars in a much better series than this movie is.

Only one reference to peppermint, doesn't warrant the name of the movie as a whole
Solid Suburban Mom Vigilante Bad Ass Movie.
This was a good time. It's like Boondock Saints (minus the style) meets Shooter and Alias. Everyone loves it when untouchable bad guys get their comeuppance. We all like watching the take down of corruption. That said I could've used a little more depth of story. It was mostly by the numbers as far as action films go. I went into this one not knowing the basic premise, my wife picked it and I said ok. Had I known the premise I would've seen most of this movie coming. That's not to say it's less enjoyable, just that it's slightly less awesome. (hence the 7)
