The Mother Trailer: Jennifer Lopez Is A Vengeful Assassin Rescuing Her Daughter
A trailer for The Mother shows Jennifer Lopez as a retired assassin out for revenge after her daughter gets kidnapped. The Mother will see the seasoned actress return to an action film role after starring in 2022's action romantic comedy Shotgun Wedding. However, this upcoming Netflix original film will be a more serious thriller compared to her latest action movie.
Netflix has released a trailer for The Mother, which focuses on Lopez's quest to save her daughter from threatening figures from her past as an assassin.
The trailer teases plenty of stunts and fight sequences, as well as bonding in the winter wilderness between Lopez's character and her daughter, who she had to give up for the sake of her safety. Fittingly, The Mother will drop on Netflix come May 12, just two days before Mother's Day.
The Mother Is A Perfect Mother's Day Action Film
Netflix's previous teaser trailer for The Mother showed many similar action sequences as the newest trailer, but more of the story for the film has now been revealed. This includes the revelation that Lopez's daughter escapes the villains that hold her hostage and bonds with her mother throughout the movie. With much of the film set to explore a mother-daughter relationship through a harrowing thriller, The Mother is sure to be a unique Netflix original film.
This will also mark Lopez's first major, serious action film role. While she's starred in films that gave her a chance to flex her action muscles, such as 2002's Enough, The Mother will be the first time she's starred in a straight action role. Despite this being her first major crack at the genre, the film's trailer shows Lopez is dedicated to making all the action and emotional moments of the film fit into a perfect thriller storyline.
With a prolific list of acting roles in a plethora of genres across her career, Lopez is embarking on a career first with The Mother that is likely to pay off. The film's debut on the weekend of Mother's Day can make for a good time for moms that are big into the action genre. Under all the action, though, it seems The Mother will be telling an important story about the bond between a mother and her daughter.
