Critics Consensus

The Mother is a welcome opportunity to see Jennifer Lopez in action hero mode — albeit one that's frustratingly content to coast on genre clichés.

Audience Says

The Mother may not deserve Jennifer Lopez, but she still makes this pretty ordinary action movie worth watching.

This forgettable action thriller is thoroughly derivative.

Rated: 1/4

Deadline Hollywood Daily

Lopez and Caro seem very much in sync as they relate the sprawling tale in a disciplined manner that maintains interest and curiosity, if not high levels of downright excitement.

Los Angeles Times

From scene to scene, Lopez and Caro do fill these broad outlines with real feeling, bringing a personal touch to old pulp archetypes.

Niki Caro’s tale of an assassin coming out of retirement to keep her daughter out of the crosshairs of some nasty people is the best kind of lean, mean fighting machine

Jennifer Lopez makes, I think, a pretty good action star... This is sort of a generic action-flick that you may watch and forget about it about three minutes after seeing it.

Rated: 5.5/10

Lopez is fit enough to handle the action scenes, but she just can’t sell the ruthlessness of the character. Apparently, it took no less than three writers to come up with this clichéd drivel.

Rated: 2.5/5

Another Jennnifer Lopez stinker. Avoid at all costs.

Yes, there are some decent action sequences but overall the story is fragmented and at times downright stupid. For instance, immediately following daughter's rescue and during the gas station stop it took the writers about 1 minute to plow through the "are you my mother" question with zero lead up or explanation of how the question even came about. Skip this movie for your own sanity. 😉

It's alright. It's a one-time watch kind of film. Not really my favorite.

Omari Hardwick provided some ballast for the movie, which suffered after his character was killed.
