The Mother: Her love can kill anyone who will harm her child

The Mother will show you Jennifer Lopez, as you have never seen before. She did action movies in the past but mostly as a leading lady or damsel in distress. This time she plays the role of a badass assassin who will come out of retirement because of a life or death circumstance. I find it admirable to see a woman in her 50s leading an action movie. Years ago, it was a rarity while it was the norm for older men to lead action films still while women were stuck with matronly roles. Now we live in an age where moms in their middle age can be action heroes. This year alone, Jennifer Lopez proved she is still bankable with the Romantic Comedy, Marry me. J.lo is the same age as the three lead actresses of The Golden Girls when it premiered.

Michelle Yeoh’s success in Everything Everywhere All at Once opened doors. Now we see more seasoned actresses leading action films. The Mother is first revealed as part of the lineup of Netflix’s #TUDUM

 

A former assassin puts up her daughter for adoption. She wants her to live a normal and secure life. The Mother has made efforts to make sure that her daughter would not share her fate because she is well aware that there is always a threat to her life.
Years Later, after living in the shadows. She will eventually be forced to leave retirement because the enemies she fostered in the past are now concentrating their efforts on her daughter.
Her daughter may not know who she is but will do everything she can to protect her. The assassin didn’t abandon her daughter because she is a deadbeat mom. She did it to protect her. It doesn’t matter if the Mother has to kill again. The Mother will use her weapons and skills to protect the only person she loves.
