⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Mother is a solid Netflix action film. Nothing original, but pleasurable viewing, with Lopez taking on a new genre. The screenplay could have done more, Fiennes is non-existent. Not terrible but not the mother of all films. pic.twitter.com/UIzHyKavUN

I just saw a movie on Netflix that sounded like it was written by ChatGPT, but it was written by 3 guys. And why 3 men would be hired to write a female-lead film called “The Mother” I don’t know.

Finally saw #themother and indeed jlo is the mother… the only downside to the film is that Gael Garcia Bernal lasted on screen for what seemed to be like a second 😩
