It’s probably not getting an Oscar nominations anytime soon, but “The Mother” has bested Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” where it counts: Netflix viewership metrics. Jennifer Lopez’s thriller film has entered the streamer’s list of Top 10 most popular English-language films at No. 8, knocking Scorsese’s three-and-a-half hour mobster epic out of the upper echelon.
Netflix announced the news on Tuesday, along with the release of viewership numbers for the week of May 29 to June 4. “The Mother,” which has streamed for four weeks after premiering on Netflix May 12, has now been watched for a total of 229.30 million total hours by Netflix subscribers. That’s enough to place it between “Extraction” (231.340 million hours) and “Purple Hearts” (228.69 million hours) on the all-time list, and bump “The Irishman,” which peaked at 214.57 million hours viewed after its first 28 days on the streamer, from the list.

The Mother is a mutha of an intimately scaled action film, a violent female-centric drama about a hardened combat veteran who has great difficulty adapting to being anything other than a tough soldier, and that includes being a mother. Joining Kathryn Bigelow, Patty Jenkins, Gina Prince-Blythewood, Mimi Leder and the Wachowski siblings among women responsible for notable action features, Aussie director Niki Caro has delivered a film that could easily have veered into sentiment at any moment but instead remains tough as nails and doesn’t go soft at the end. The film would surely have an even greater impact on the big screen but, as it is, launched Friday on Netflix.
Perhaps no star as survived more ups and downs in her career than has Jennifer Lopez, and while her performance here mostly calls on her to be lacking anything akin to sentiment, she powers through...

Lucy Paez is recounting her audition for the role of Jennifer Lopez’s daughter in “The Mother”.
In 2021, the 14-year-old actress was about to head into a movie theatre to watch “Cruella”, starring Emma Stone, when she got a call from her manager about a “huge audition” for a “really big movie” with Lopez. She immediately left the theatre to go home and record her very first self-tape, which can be viewed here.
“Of course I was going to jump at the opportunity,” Paez told Tudum of the new action thriller.

Plot: A deadly female assassin comes out of hiding to protect the daughter that she gave up years before, while on the run from dangerous men.
Review: Since it was first announced over a year ago, I have been mildly intrigued by The Mother. With a mysterious plot featuring Jennifer Lopez as a vengeful parent, I expected this film to be a cookie-cutter action replica of John Wick and the myriad spin-offs and copycats it has spawned. Instead, this film benefits from having a gritty but realistic plot that is accentuated by bursts of violence. With a solid director and the burgeoning talent of writer Misha Green, The Mother is a solid throwback thriller that echoes the action flicks of the late 1990s. With some brutal violence and engaging character development, The Mother is a better offering than the hit-or-miss fare churned out by the Netflix machine.

In a movie career that stretches back 25 years, Jennifer Lopez has on occasion done flaked-out underworld thriller romance (“Out of Sight”), capery action (“Parker”) and revenge (“Enough”). Yet she has never placed herself at the center of such a down-and-dirty, grimly overwrought, execute-now-and-ask-questions-later B-movie as “The Mother.” I’m tempted to call the film “minimalist,” because if you consider its bare-bones screenplay (by three writers!), its convoluted utilitarian set-up, its 2D villains, and its essential formulaic momentum, it’s a prime example of action filmmaking made basic.
Yet “The Mother” is a Netflix action movie, which means that it has a certain flavor of ambition mixed into its pulp stew. The movie, which should have been 90 minutes long (it’s 116), is lumpy and inflated, it’s sketchy yet a touch grandiose, and it’s full of tersely dramatized scenes that somehow feel overly broad.

In the future, every movie star over the age of 45 will get to play a role with a particular set of skills. Skills their characters will have acquired over a very long career — maybe as an assassin, possibly as a government-sanctioned operative, or perhaps just as your run-of-the-mill military badass. Skills that make them a nightmare for people like those unfortunate character actors and/or day players cast as thugs, mercenaries, and international criminal masterminds. If those bad guys had let those abducted wives/kids/partners/pets go, that would...

“The Mother” is like a lot of Netflix action-dramas of late: A mix of different genres with hints of a darker, possibly richer story, that ended up being excised due to budget and/or time constraints.
There is a lot of well-worn inspiration to be found in its familiar plot, from the survivalist parent/daughter relationship found in the 2011 feature “Hanna” to another Jennifer Lopez feature, 2018’s “Second Act” in which Lopez’s character is also at odds with a daughter she gave up at birth named Zoe.
All of this is to say a film like “The Mother” shouldn’t work, and it doesn’t completely gel 100 percent. But in the hands of Jennifer Lopez and director Niki Caro, the film as a whole mostly comes together as an action-packed (at times), contemplative (at times) and entertaining story of maternal self-sacrifice.

Make no mistake, the title character in the enjoyably ridiculous The Mother is given no name, but there’s never any doubt that she’s Jennifer Lopez. From the runway-ready fur hoodie she sports in the Alaskan wilderness to the flawless eye makeup and dewy complexion that withstand everything from childbirth to a knife fight in the snowbound woods, this is a performance so loaded with celebrity baggage it’s never going to be fully convincing as a deadly assassin. Yet JLo of course is the chief reason to watch Niki Caro’s action thriller for Netflix, which is better than average, as star-driven streaming features go.

Jennifer Lopez may be singlehandedly able to revive the rom-com, but she’s here to remind us she can carry other blockbuster genres: The crime thriller. It’s been awhile since Lopez set her sights on a high-stakes action drama (as she did in Steven Soderbergh’s 1998 hit “Out of Sight”), but clearly she hasn’t forgotten her combat training. Deadly serious with a killer instinct, she is hardly maternal in “The Mother,” a tense thriller about a sharpshooter who must give up her child and go into hiding after double crossing two nefarious exes.
Directed by Kiwi filmmaker Niki Caro, “The Mother” sees two business-savvy women making a mark on the most masculine of genres — and pulling no punches. While it’s far from groundbreaking, “The Mother” is a satisfying nail-biter grounded in a genuine (albeit familiar) emotional setup. Besides, we’ve seen enough violent thrillers about lone wolf...

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s first scripted TV series, the Jennifer Lopez-starring action film The Mother and documentaries featuring Anna Nicole Smith and Barack Obama are among the high-profile projects hitting Netflix this month.
At the end of May, the streamer is dropping the Schwarzenegger-starring spy comedy Fubar, in which the former California governor and Top Gun: Maverick’s Monica Barbaro play a father and daughter who discover they’ve each been secretly working as CIA operatives as they’re forced to team up and get to know each other’s true selves.
And earlier this month, in time for Mother’s Day, Lopez plays an assassin who emerges from hiding to protect a daughter she gave up for adoption years earlier in The Mother, streaming this Friday.

In The Mother, Jennifer Lopez embraces every aspect of motherhood.
On Wednesday evening, the cast and creators of Netflix’s upcoming action drama gathered in Los Angeles for the film’s premiere. The story follows Lopez as a military-trained assassin who comes out of hiding to protect the daughter she’s never met from dangerous criminals out for revenge.
“I remember when I wasn’t a mother, I didn’t understand that at all,” Lopez, who also serves as a producer on the film, told The Hollywood Reporter about becoming a parent. “I remember apologizing to friends of mine at that time who had kids — I was like, ‘Why don’t you do this and this?’ And then once I had [kids], I was like, ‘I’m so sorry; I had no idea.’
The actress continued, “This movie, in particular, I love because it really thinks about: What kind of mother are you?...

Jennifer Lopez Talks ‘The Mother’ Sequels and Stunt Work, Jokes About Auditioning to Play James Bond
Jennifer Lopez and the team behind “The Mother” are already thinking about a sequel.
“I think it would be ‘The Daughter,’” Lopez told me Wednesday night at the premiere of the new Netflix action thriller.
In the film, Lopez plays a former assassin who is pulled back into her deadly work when her 12-year-old daughter’s (Lucy Paez) life is put in danger.
Paez agreed. “The sequel will definitely be ‘The Daughter,’” the young actor said.
Not only does Lopez’s character kill at least a couple dozen men in the movie, but the actor’s impressive stunt work also includes motorcycle chases and gunfights while riding a snowmobile. “I was achy, but not hurt,” Lopez said. “I don’t think I’ve ever done an action movie like this. I do a lot of my own stunts because I’m athletic. But I have kids so I’m not going to risk anything.

You have to wonder why, after so many movies in which it goes very wrong for baddies, villains keep trying to threaten highly skilled operatives via their children. The latest character activating their particular set of skills to protect their spawn is Jennifer Lopez's hero in The Mother, which has a trailer online…
Yes, following on from her more comedic action thrills in Shotgun Wedding, this is J-Lo going full Taken as a deadly assassin who returns to rescue the daughter she loved from afar after years of hiding out in the Alaskan wilderness aiming to keep them both safe.

With Joseph Fiennes, Lucy Paez, Omari Hardwick, Paul Raci and Gael García Bernal also in the cast, this comes from director Niki Caro and will hit Netflix on 12 May.

Jennifer Lopez is out for absolute, unfettered vengeance in the wild new trailer for her upcoming Netflix action flick, The Mother.
After last year’s vague teaser, the new clip offers a way more comprehensive look at the film, in which Lopez plays an ex-assassin forced to abandon her newborn daughter and retreat to the Alaskan wilderness after botching a job that leaves her and her child in the crosshairs of some dangerous men (played by Joseph Fiennes and Gael García Bernal).

Jennifer Lopez plays a former assassin turned fierce mama bear who emerges from hiding in the Alaskan wilderness to protect a daughter she gave up for adoption years earlier in the official trailer for the upcoming Netflix movie The Mother.
“I’m a killer. And I’m also mother,” Lopez’s gun-toting character says at one point in the trailer while stabbing or head-butting the bad guys, or firing back from a motorcycle or snowmobile while being hotly pursued.
The latest look at director Niki Caro’s action-adventure pic opens with Lopez in a flashback giving birth to a daughter she had to give up. An FBI agent with whom she has cut a deal tells her the only way to protect her newborn from two dangerous assailants on the loose is to disappear.
“They’ll find you. Both of you,” Lopez is warned.

If you’re coming for an assassin’s daughter, you better be ready for that assassin to come for you. Of course, that’s kind of the bad guy’s whole intention in the first trailer for the new Netflix film “The Mother.”
That assassin is played by none other than Jennifer Lopez, and apparently, she’s ruffled more than a few feathers. As the footage opens on her in a hospital bed, she’s told that, after getting several FBI agents killed, the only thing she can do to keep her daughter safe is to leave her behind.
And so, reluctantly, she does. But, as is almost always the case with dangerous assassins, her past catches up to her — and her daughter. When the girl gets kidnapped as part of an effort to lure Lopez’s character back in, she offers an ominous warning.

Jennifer Lopez is a killer and a mother in Netflix’s upcoming action movie, titled “The Mother,” coming to the streamer on (when else?) this Mother’s Day weekend.
In the newly released trailer, the international singer, dancer and actor stars as a former killer who left her old life and family behind to protect her now 12-year-old daughter. The trailer reveals that the FBI cut a deal with Lopez after several agents were killed and two dangerous men were still on the loose. After her daughter is kidnapped many years later, Lopez’s character must come out of hiding and re-enter her life to save her. Along the way, she tortures, shoots, stabs and headbutts the kidnappers’ men, and she teaches her daughter how to survive in the face of danger.
“I’m a killer, but I’m also a mother,” Lopez says in the trailer, perfectly encapsulating the film in one line.

"They're using her to get to me." "I'm a killer... but I'm also a mother. And I will die protecting her." Well okay then. Netflix has debuted the full-length official trailer for the action thriller film The Mother which will be streaming starting in early May. This was originally teased during Netflix's Tudum event last year, showing off some of JLo's deadly look. From Mulan director Niki Caro, The Mother is about a deadly female assassin who comes out of hiding to protect the daughter she gave up years ago, while also on the run from dangerous men. Of course, always on the run... Why do so many hitman films all look the same? This stars Jennifer Lopez as "The Mother", with Joseph Fiennes, Lucy Paez, Omari Hardwick, Paul Raci, and Gael Garcia Bernal. It seems this won't play in theaters at all, which is odd for an action movie,...

Forget J Lo the rom-com queen: the "Shotgun Wedding" star is, instead, switching it up as a deadly assassin in Netflix's "The Mother." The action-thriller finds Jennifer Lopez's character coming out of retirement to protect the daughter she gave up years before - by any means necessary. But did we mention she's also on the run from some extremely dangerous men?
Per the teaser trailer Netflix released during its Tudum fan event in September 2022, Lopez's character is nothing to play with, as the clip opens with her doing pull-ups in a tank top in the middle of a snowy winter. (Sheesh!) Deadline previously described the film as having "the spirit of the Luc Besson[-directed] classic 'The Professional'" - the 1994 film about a 12-year-old girl who wants to become a hitman after her parents are murdered by a corrupt DEA agent.
"The Mother" is part of Lopez's multiyear production deal with Netflix.

The film features Lopez as a deadly assassin that comes out of hiding to protect the daughter she gave up years before. “She needs protection right now,” Lopez says as the trailer shows her racing through various locations, running away from dangerous men after rescuing her daughter (Paez).

"If there's trouble, come find me…" Netflix has revealed the first look teaser trailer for another new assassin action film, this one titled The Mother which is debuting May 2023. So many of these hitman / hitwomen films these days, all telling pretty much the same story over and over. From Mulan director Niki Caro, The Mother is about a deadly female assassin who comes out of hiding to protect the daughter she gave up years ago, while also on the run from dangerous men. Of course, always on the run. This stars Jennifer Lopez as "The Mother", with Joseph Fiennes, Lucy Paez, Omari Hardwick, Paul Raci, and Gael Garcia Bernal. It's only a 45 second teaser, but it's intense and makes this looks badass. A good intro to this film. Seems a bit familiar, but Lopez looks solid so far and I'm digging the epic globe-spanning look and feel of it. ›››

Jennifer Lopez buffs up, throws on fatigues and gets out the ammo to keep her daughter safe in the new Netflix film, “The Mother.”
“The Mother,” tells the story of a female assassin (Lopez), who comes out of hiding to protect the daughter that she gave up years before while on the run from dangerous men.
The video above shows Lopez in a remote cabin in the woods in the dead of a snowy winter. She’s building her muscles, prepping for the fight of her life. Or to be more specific, the fight for her daughter’s life.
“She needs protection right now,” she says of her daughter. And nothing will stop this Mama Bear from doing just that. She’s got the would-be kidnappers in her gun’s crosshairs and has absolutely no problem with pulling the trigger. “If there’s trouble,” she says grimly, “come find me.
