Fron viewpic of a kid9/3/2023 This is supposed to be a big emotional journey for Mother and Zoe and the viewing audience, but I can’t say this movie ever really convinces you to care about this relationship, which is especially odd because there have been plenty of random pairings of adult assassins and non-blood relation children in movies that I’ve felt invested in. This brings her out of her glamorously rugged Alaska retirement and back in action as a superhuman spy/assassin/one-woman army.Īt first, Mother denies her Mother-hood to Zoe (Lucy Paez), whose foster parents get about as much character development and screen time as a couple in a cell phone commercial. But the movie itself is set 12 years later when Mother learns that the daughter (who does get a name, Zoe) is in danger. And all of this is very interesting in theory. There is a “Mamma Mia”-esque mystery about who the father is and an even bigger mystery about if this pregnancy was planned or expected or wanted. It’s for everyone’s safety and her only wish is that the kid gets placed with the most boring, stable family out there - that and that FBI Agent Cruise (Omari Hardwick) sends updates on her birthdays. A bit of this is revealed in a brief prologue, in which she gives birth and has to give up the baby before even holding her. Good.Īfter her military service, she’s left with few job prospects so she becomes a guard in Guantanamo and gets entangled, professionally and personally, with a few handsome arms dealers, Adrian (Joseph Fiennes) and Hector (Gael García Bernal). Lopez’s character is basically Jason Bourne, James Bond, John Wick and Nikita rolled into one, at least when it comes to her skills which are vast and seemingly just the product of her tours in Afghanistan. This is a bit unfair to “The Mother,” which at worst is just what you expect it to be - a mostly generic action trifle that’s very self-serious and wants to be a lot of different kinds of films. Happy Mother’s Day! Here’s a woman doing… something! If the movies were better, you start to suspect, maybe they wouldn’t need the lame hook. The greeting card holiday is where studios always seem to dump mediocre material that happen to have women at the center. The final film also credits Peter Craig and Andrea Berloff for the script.īut history has unfortunately taught us to be suspect of a Mother’s Day rollout. And, eventually, with Niki Caro signed on to direct and a movie star like Lopez on board to star and produce, it was enough for greenlight and a Netflix budget. There were condescending headlines propping it up as a “female empowerment” script. Misha Green’s script was a hot commodity in 2017, around the time “Wonder Woman” opened, which had left some studios scrambling for action movies fronted by women. The movie is a high-concept thriller that boils down to just a few words: She’s a mother and an assassin.
