The Mother (2023) follows Jennifer Lopez while fleeing from dangerous assailants, an assassin comes out of hiding to protect her daughter she left earlier in life. Available to watch on Netflix!

I think Jennifer Lopez did pretty well acting wise in this movie. There were a few parts that I felt Jennifer Lopez could have conveyed better, but overall I think it was a good movie to watch once for me.

The movie is packed with lively action scenes and stimulating combat scenes. There were a good amount of parts that were predictable though plus a handful of scenes that were illogical, and the character of the daughter was not my favorite. I think the daughter, Lucy Paez, was a good actress, but there were some parts script wise that were not impressive. I enjoy Omari Hardwick as an actor since his part in Nobody’s Fool (2018), so seeing him here was fun to be able to see him again and I really enjoyed his character and dynamic with Jennifer Lopez. Also, I enjoyed seeing Gael Garcia Bernal in this movie as well, after seeing him in Old (2021), it was refreshing to see him again and this time in a new and different part. I thought the plot was different and interesting and the action scenes are pretty good making the movie entertaining to watch and wanting to see what happens next!

    I did not know Jennifer Lopez can do an action movie. But she did well in this movie though as you said, it was very predictable and i find it a bit slow. I agree with your observations especially her daughter. She was great but the plot was not so convincing at all. Overall, it is good.
    Love your blog.
