"You think you're gonna have justice? Make them all pay?"

"Corrupt judges. Dirty cops. Well I want, I want justice!"

There are two kinds of people in the world - those who remember Jennifer Garner as the gawky teen named Jenna Rink who wakes up to find she's 30 and living her dream life and those who remember her as the badass CIA agent Sydney Bristol who could give John Wick a run for his money. Regardless of who you are, you cannot help but love Garner. She's always done justice to the roles she's been in, even if it meant starring in the 2010 romantic comedy 'Valentine's Day', a terrible movie by many standards. She's gone in and out of the limelight, especially since she had her three adorable kids. But Garner is ready and packing in her upcoming film 'Peppermint' which marks the return of the archetypal hero from 'Alias' that we've known and loved!
