Jennifer Lopez stars in the action-packed movie “The Mother,” where she portrays an assassin who protects her daughter from revenge-seeking criminals. The film, which was released on Netflix on Friday, features thrilling car chases, fight scenes, and rigorous training for Lopez’s character, known as ‘The Mother’.
During an interview with Reuters, Lopez, along with her co-stars Lucy Paez and Omari Hardwick, who play her daughter and an FBI agent, respectively, and director Niki Caro, discussed the themes of the movie and how it blends action with emotion.
The primary theme of the film is the bond between a mother and daughter and how far a mother would go to protect her child. There’s also a sub-theme of the pressure on mothers to be perfect, which is unattainable.
According to the cast and director, the film is both powerful and emotional, and Caro described it as “badass.” The challenges of directing an action film were discussed, with Caro saying that while it can be challenging, it’s also enjoyable to tell a story on a large scale with emotion through action.
Lopez also praised her co-star Paez for bringing an exuberant energy to the set, reminding her of how fortunate she is to do what she loves. In summary, “The Mother” is an action-packed film that explores the relationship between a mother and daughter, the pressure to be a perfect mother, and the challenges of directing an action film.
