The Mother Review
‘The Mother’ finds Jennifer Lopez as a female assassin driven to protect her daughter from villains. Despite direction from ‘Whale Rider’ and ‘North Country’s Niki Caro, this is an utterly generic action thriller with only its distaff take on the topic to recommend it.
On Netflix beginning May 12, ‘The Mother’ is the streaming service’s latest attempt to add to the action thriller genre, though even the mother-daughter relationship at its core and some other tweaks aren’t quite enough to overcome a rote, bland script and uninspired direction.
