The Mother is an action film with hard edges and an emotional payoff. Jennifer Lopez plays a tough chick that is formidable, She is back in her element as the Tough Chick. It is a Netflix action thriller with a slightly silly plot. The movie uses existing clichés to entertain, but does so well enough to satisfy the minimum quality of entertaining for a while. Lopez and her stunt doubles attempt to bring some intensity to the physical activity, despite miscasting and storytelling choices. Niki Caro's direction and Jennifer Lopez's star quality maintain the film's commitment to being a mother-daughter story, despite the formulaic beats of an assassin revenge thriller.
