Despite the speculation that there’s trouble in paradise for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, a new report swears that they are still going strong!

Jennifer Lopez‘s new movie The Mother is unlike anything she’s ever done before.

Is there trouble in paradise for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez?!

Jennifer Lopez seems to be an unlikely action star. The actress is mostly known for her rom-com turns in movies like Maid in Manhattan, The Wedding Planner and more recently Marry Me. However, over the last few years, the 53-year-old has been joining more physically demanding movies, and her latest Netflix movie, The Mother, is no exception.

About twenty minutes into the new Netflix thriller “The Mother,” star Jennifer Lopez locks eyes with a snarling, angry wolf in the snowy Alaskan wilderness. Just as Lopez raises her rifle, a bunch of cute wolf babies emerge from their snowy home.

Jennifer Lopez expressed feeling guilty when she cannot protect her children. During a conversation with Audacy, Lopez opened up on the things she wishes she could protect her children from.“Everything. There’s so many things.

In March, Ben Affleck revealed his and pal Matt Damon’s Artist Equity would be producing Unstoppable, starring none other than Affleck’s wife, Jennifer Lopez. This raises the question: Does the couple that act together, stay together? History doesn’t stand on their side, but with copious side projects in addition to Unstoppable, both Affleck and Lopez are busy enough with their own independent work to avoid on-set tensions: Affleck’s AIR is dropping on Prime Video and Lopez is celebrating the release of The Mother on Netflix on May 12, 2023.

The Mother is a mutha of an intimately scaled action film, a violent female-centric drama about a hardened combat veteran who has great difficulty adapting to being anything other than a tough soldier, and that includes being a mother. Joining Kathryn Bigelow, Patty Jenkins, Gina Prince-Blythewood, Mimi Leder and the Wachowski siblings among women responsible for notable action features, Aussie director Niki Caro (Whale Rider, Mulan) has delivered a film that could easily have veered into sentiment at any moment but instead remains tough as nails and doesn’t go soft at the end. The film would surely have an even greater impact on the big screen but, as it is, launched Friday on Netflix.

Stars of “The Mother” have some parental advice for others.

Lucy Paez is recounting her audition for the role of Jennifer Lopez’s daughter in “The Mother”.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Trace Lysette is in a hotel room on 8th Street in New York City when she jumps on a Zoom video call with Variety to talk about her new movie, “Monica.” In just a couple of hours, she’s set to walk the red carpet at the indie drama’s premiere at the IFC Center. “I used to turn tricks a few blocks from there,” Lysette says. Like so many trans women, Lysette once turned to sex work as a means of survival. “I was a young person alone in New York doing God knows what to survive,” says Lysette, who was raised in Ohio. “Last night we had a screening at The [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community] Center here. That was so heavy for me because I got my gender identity therapy there 20 years ago.”

Jennifer Lopez plays a deadly assassin in Netflix film The Mother.Directed by Niki Caro (Mulan), the action thriller follows an assassin who comes out of hiding to protect her estranged daughter.A synopsis reads: “A deadly female assassin comes out of hiding to protect the daughter that she gave up years before, while on the run from dangerous men.”Lopez also serves as a producer alongside Benny Medina, Roy Lee and Marc Evans. The film’s script is by Misha Green (Lovecraft Country) and Andrea Berloff (Straight Outta Compton).Lucy Paez plays 12-year-old Zoe, the daughter of the titular Mother.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic In a movie career that stretches back 25 years, Jennifer Lopez has on occasion done flaked-out underworld thriller romance (“Out of Sight”), capery action (“Parker”) and revenge (“Enough”). Yet she has never placed herself at the center of such a down-and-dirty, grimly overwrought, execute-now-and-ask-questions-later B-movie as “The Mother.” I’m tempted to call the film “minimalist,” because if you consider its bare-bones screenplay (by three writers!), its convoluted utilitarian set-up, its 2D villains, and its essential formulaic momentum, it’s a prime example of action filmmaking made basic. Yet “The Mother” is a Netflix action movie, which means that it has a certain flavor of ambition mixed into its pulp stew. The movie, which should have been 90 minutes long (it’s 116), is lumpy and inflated, it’s sketchy yet a touch grandiose, and it’s full of tersely dramatized scenes that somehow feel overly broad. Lopez, as a military sniper turned broker of underground arms deals turned FBI informant turned savagely cool-headed protector of her 12-year-old daughter, is playing a badass not so far removed from those played by Jason Statham or (in his grade-B prime) Bruce Willis, and she’s up to the task. She shoots, she stabs, she chops windpipes, she motorcycles down stone stairways in one of those chase-through-an-ancient-city action scenes (this one takes place in Havana), she tortures a man by punching him with a fist wrapped in barb wire, she grimaces in muscle-torn agony but mostly looks frozen and implacable. Even more important, she puts her own spin on those familiar motions.

The Mother” is like a lot of Netflix action-dramas of late: A mix of different genres with hints of a darker, possibly richer story, that ended up being excised due to budget and/or time constraints. There is a lot of well-worn inspiration to be found in its familiar plot, from the survivalist parent/daughter relationship found in the 2011 feature “Hanna” to another Jennifer Lopez feature, 2018’s “Second Act” in which Lopez’s character is also at odds with a daughter she gave up at birth named Zoe. All of this is to say a film like “The Mother” shouldn’t work, and it doesn’t completely gel 100 percent.

Some fans were concerned that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were arguing on the red carpet at the premiere of her new movie The Mother on Wednesday night (May 11) in Los Angeles. However, a lip reader knows what they were really talking about and can clear the air.
