NEW YORK, May 9 - Jennifer Lopez brings the action in new film "The Mother", playing an assassin who comes out of hiding in the remote wilderness to protect the daughter she was forced to leave as a newborn baby from vengeful criminals. The Netflix movie, which begins streaming on Friday, features plenty of high speed car and motorbike chases, fight scenes and gruelling training for Lopez's character, simply called 'The Mother'.
In an interview with Reuters, Lopez, co-stars Lucy Paez and Omari Hardwick, who play her daughter and an FBI agent respectively, and director Niki Caro spoke about the film's themes and mixing action and emotion.Paez: "I would say the relationship of a mother and a daughter and how she'd protect her child.”
Lopez: “How she would do anything to protect her child. I also think ... there's an underlying theme of what it is to be a mother and what the idea of the perfect mom is and how that really doesn't exist."Lopez: “Emotional, action packed."Hardwick: "It's a movie of heart ... It really is ‘The Mother’ for a reason, cause mommas bring a different thing to life."Caro: “There are many challenges but it's also tremendously fun for me.
