The Mother Reviews

Mar 30, 2025

Another Jennnifer Lopez stinker. Avoid at all costs.

Feb 26, 2025

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.

Probably one of the worst movies I’ve ever watched pure dribble.

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

The Mother is not just another action thriller; it’s a film that breaks barriers, and Jennifer Lopez is at the heart of it all. In a genre often dominated by male leads, Lopez stands tall as the powerhouse "Mother," redefining what it means to be a woman in action cinema. She doesn’t just fit into the role; she owns it, bringing strength, depth, and authenticity to the character while seamlessly delivering the high-octane action sequences. Lopez’s portrayal of a former U.S. military operative on a mission to save her daughter is both fierce and heartfelt. She kicks ass with the precision and grit you'd expect from a seasoned action star, all while maintaining the emotional core that makes her performance so powerful. As the center of this story, she flawlessly balances vulnerability with unstoppable force, proving that women can not only lead but dominate in an action-packed narrative. What makes Lopez’s performance even more remarkable is that she’s not just "playing a part"—she's shattering stereotypes. Traditionally, action films have relegated women to the sidelines or placed them in supporting roles, but The Mother places Lopez front and center. She’s not just part of the action; she is the action, and she executes every scene with a commanding presence that’s both refreshing and inspiring. Her role in this film is significant, not only for her career but for representation in cinema. Lopez continues to pave the way for women in Hollywood, showing that age, gender, and background are not limitations but strengths. As she delivers a relentless, physically demanding performance, she proves that women can lead thrilling, intense action films with the same grit and prowess as any male counterpart. Beyond the intense fight scenes and gun battles, Lopez brings emotional complexity to the character, offering a layered performance that resonates on a personal level. It’s this combination of action and heart that makes her stand out. The Mother is a film about resilience, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child, and Lopez embodies these themes with a level of commitment that makes the story not only believable but unforgettable. Jennifer Lopez once again demonstrates why she is one of the most versatile and influential actors in the industry today. With The Mother, she doesn't just entertain—she empowers, making her mark as a true trailblazer in action cinema. This film, and her role in it, is a testament to her skill, dedication, and ability to break down barriers with grace and grit. Simply put, The Mother is a must-watch, and Jennifer Lopez is the reason why.

It was slow at the beginning, but the action picked up. Overall very predictable, but still entertaining. I enjoyed it.

Very predictable. Same story of many movies but, with a female killer.

Jul 19, 2024

I don't know, I remembered "Anaconda". Already made better ones, but it's ok if you try. 6/10

Jun 21, 2024

Started off very slow, but it did pick up slightly. All in all it was just okay.

Jun 12, 2024

Nothing in this worth watching but Lopez. It's enough.

Jun 4, 2024

Suspensful. Holds your attention. Some nice moments.

Jun 2, 2024

Every bit as good as all the other action films the critics do like and this one actually has a story.

Jun 1, 2024

It was the acting for me. Didn’t do anything

May 29, 2024

A watchable movie if you really have time, it is plain like a paper, not interesting. Acting is ok. Everything average.

Am Ende muss es Mami richten, auch wenn sie keine Mami sein will aber doch Mami ist weil sie ein Kind geboren hat. Zerschnitten, unspannend und nerviger Teenager. Allein die Verhörszene macht aber Spaß

Apr 6, 2024

Muy buena película de accion. Historia atrapante, no tan original pero muy bien contada. Se empatiza muy fácil con el personaje de Jennifer López al igual que con la hija. Tiene tintes noventeros con muchas explosiones, efectos prácticos y poco Cgi. En un momento (mas o menos por la mitad) tiene un bache en el que se vuelve un toque aburrida, no la arruina del todo pero hay que atravesar esa parte. Tal vez si fuera yendo al cine la dejaría en 3 estrellitas pero como film de streaming rinde con creces.

Mar 27, 2024

No solo es la acción si no que los diálogos tienen profundidad. Impresionante ver a Jennifer López en este tipo de personaje.

Every movie is always Jlo playing Jlo.
