I’m not sure how to even begin…
I’ve been a fan of Jennifer Lopez’s movies since the first time I saw The Wedding Planner. I don’t think it’s her acting I love, although she doesn’t do bad at all.
I really love romcoms, even the cheesy ones…provided there’s a good story line. So maybe that’s what makes me love Lopez’s movies.
When I got a netflix notification for her latest movie, I wasn’t so eager. I didn’t know what to expect. The movie The Mother is an Action Thriller film. I needed a little time to process that.
I need to add, this is nothing like Parker, Money Train, Out of Sight or any semi action movie you may have seen her in.
This is Jason Bourne kind of action…and she is the “Jason Bourne”.
I finally saw the movie last night.
🤦♀️
I don’t know if it’s the story line that bothers me or its lack of proper structure and/or direction… I can’t really tell. Nothing stands out exceptionally. It didn’t grip me at all.
I didn’t even hit the pause button in the moments when I had to leave to room to do a thing or two. That’s very unusual for me.
…but one thing I am sure of is this, Jennifer López can pull off any role. She did justice to the character.
She is definitely Action Thriller Protagonist material
