Jennifer Lopez continues to explore her side as an actress and, after receiving great criticism for her role in Hustlers, comes to Netflix with The Mother, an action movie full of well-known actors.
The film was directed by Niki Caro, director of Disney’s Mulan live action, from The North Country with Charlize Theron and The Zookeeper’s Wife with Jessica Chastain, and it is one of Netflix’s great action bets, where we will soon see the sequel to Rescue Mission with Chris Hemsworth and more of The Old Guard, which have become the most watched movies to date.
The Mother is the story of a woman who is pushed to the limit to protect her daughter, and we see Jennifer Lopez as a John Wick-esque character in the sense that she must come out of “retirement” and use her most violent skills to keep up with her. life and save the 12-year-old girl she hasn’t seen since she was a baby while being hunted by the most dangerous criminals.
The first trailer for the film has already been revealed, along with some details to know.
The Mother Trailer
The trailer opens with JLo (who many consider to have been robbed of an Oscar by not nominating her for her role as a con-art stripper in Hustlers) as a mother who just gave birth to her baby, but instead of receiving visits from her relatives and friends, she is visited by a woman who tells her that she must make a deal with the government and that she probably won’t be able to keep her daughter just yet.
What happens is that she is some kind of soldier or assassin who was involved in the deaths of several agents, and that leaves her in a difficult position, forcing her years later to search for her daughter and fight to protect her.
What is “The Mother” about?
The Netflix synopsis reads: “A deadly assassin goes underground to protect the daughter she abandoned years ago while trying to escape danger.”
For now, we don’t know what revenge they want for their daughter, but that will become clear throughout the film. The mother will have to face her past and the problems of the present to recover her relationship with her daughter and get the opportunity to have a new life together.
The Cast of The Mother
Jennifer Lopez is the protagonist of this story as the mother to which the title refers, but Gael Garca Bernal (who is also about to release the film Casandro, about a legendary wrestler who changed wrestling forever) also appears as one of the villains who have a problem with the character of Lopez and have a plan to kill her, along with actors like Joseph Fiennes, Lucy Paez, Omari Hardwick, and Paul Raci.
When is “The Mother” Released?
The film will be available on Netflix starting May 12.
