The more blood and guys, the happier I am. The kills are gruesome and gory, and you saw every moment of it, which was great. Another thing Caro did that I loved was not shy away from being ruthless. Typically, these types of movies don’t care how the hand-to-hand combat goes down, but the director Niki Caro wisely puts together some great sequences. One of my favorite things about the film was that they spent the time getting the fight sequences on point. Jennifer Lopez plays the perfect assassin in The Mother She’s out living in the middle of nowhere until William arrives to make her aware her daughter is in trouble. She says a farewell to the baby through the glass, and we fast forward twelve years later. Although she doesn’t like the decision, she goes to her fellow agent William (Omari Hardwick) and asks him to place her in a good boring home, and if she’s ever in trouble, they must call her. One of the men stabs a pregnant mother (J-Lo) in the stomach, and shortly after, a bomb goes off, killing the bad guys.Īt the hospital, an agent tells her that she will have to sign over her baby because she won’t be able to protect it. One thing leads to another, and gunfire ensues, killing both men. She persists in telling the men it isn’t safe, but they aren’t buying it. The film begins with us meeting a woman (Lopez) who is being interrogated by two men at an FBI safe house. The film was directed by Niki Caro and stars Jennifer Lopez, Omari Hardwick, and Academy Award nominee Paul Raci. The Mother follows an assassin (Lopez) who comes out of hiding to protect a daughter she left behind earlier in life. Can J-Lo continue her hot streak as of late with movies? Below I share my review of the film and let you know if it is worth checking out. Netflix is bringing a brand new action drama starring Jennifer Lopez in the lead role as an assassin titled The Mother.
