What is the best Jennifer Lopez performance?
Did you enjoy this one?
Out of Sight with Clooney
i loved it!
Out of sight, Selena and Hustlers.
oh? she performed in this?
Hustlers is her best performance so far
I surprised people really thought this was good. Nobody knows what a good movie is anymore. It’s sad how much the bar has been lowered in the industry. No more classic movies you can watch countless times or atleast hardly any.
I’m with you on this one. Reading some of the good reviews about this less-than-mediocre movie, I kind of started thinking, maybe I have watched a completely different movie? 🤔🤨
I whole heartedly agree.
They're probably paid astroturfers.
Can you make a better movie William? Yh of course not so shut up and watch your classic bullshit
Agree!! It's clear people who enjoy this are all under 25-30. They don't remember actual good movies.
This was such a good movie in my opinion. That ending made me cry 😭 I love Jennifer Lopez so much, she’s one of my favourite actresses. And she is always so beautiful 😍
Ong ppl sleep ts was so good I might watch it again
Great review, ty!! I like jlo in these.roles..I really liked her in "Enough". It's a movie that is underrated in my books.
I thought she did a great job. I agree with your review. She has a lot of fans who went to the premiere and private screening in NYC so I think that’s where most of the rotten tomatoes user reviews come from.
she did great!
Haha GREAT call out on the RT reviews!
Nope, another movie where the protagonist can't fail at anything and so much convenience. Ms Lopez is a strong actress but lazy writing is once again the hallmark of a Netflix movie.
See the movie "enough", that was amazing and showed a struggle and a protagonist that has to acknowledge and overcome her own shortcomings.
Funny how most of the guys that gripe about this movie are gay.
@@shawnsmith2610 that was funny as hell
no way IMDB rated this a 7.4/10, it's a 5.5/10 movie at most.
6
2:14 I was so hoping you will play that scene a while longer, or at least cut to the moment where she rides that bike at 30mi/hr and then scoops up her daughter, who’s running on the shoulder…😂🤦🏻♂️
I just couldn't finish it! Should I still leave my review?
Those who are JLO fans will definitely like the movie. And those who are waiting for a good and exciting movie, without being JLO fans, would do well to read some negative reviews first. Thus, assuming from the start that the film is not good, they will not have high expectations and that is precisely why they might be pleasantly surprised
That is the dumbest statement! The movie is fine! Why listen to people like you that to pass negative thought!
Good review, valid points.
Great review
Much appreciated
My first impression from this movie was that it's just a quick movie cash grab, it kinda is but it turned out to be good. there was effort showed in this movie.
Def more effort than I expected
Yes. It was good. Nobody wants reviews the audience. Is what makes the movie with don’t care what critics said. But yes nice movie action. They need a sequel
I hr into the movie I checked the time. It goes on and on, it drags and while there are moments in fights, but the action really is not the best. I enjoyed the connection with Zoe, and Cruz and Lopez. I like Lopez's truth to a character who is not maternal. I liked feeling disappointed with The Mother and Cruz never experiencing their feelings for each other. I give it a 3/5.
I hate that cruise died after being shot in the chest and stabbed at the back. He’s gone too far to die just like that buhuhuhuhu 😢
Thank you for this amazing honest review on The Mother. I was looking forward to see this film with phenomenal actors like Joseph Fiennes and Omari Hardwick.. Like you stated Austin most people didn't like Mulan but I enjoyed Nikki Caro directing on it and the film did received a lot of great reviews and didn't disappoint in the box office.
Box office? What?
@@mbef48 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Happy Mothers Day weekend!! This was Jennifer's best movie since Enough. She needs to do more of these type of movies instead of romantic comedies. Good action, and a good time.
I think she is great doing commedy too, i like her in both types
Audience Score on RT looking surprisingly good right now
Yea because I voted 69 times for this Awesome movie . A++ .. No Bias
Hahaha yeahhhh I talk about that in the vid lol
@@AustinBurke Yeah I watched the video now lol
I give it a 2 / 10 but then again i just watched John Wick 4 .
For me what killed is the detour the movie had in the middle of the movie. At the start the movie was setup like lets take some revenge, boom it happened too quickly, and then the movie was lost and then we got a detour.
Was it a action movie? Or drama? What movie are you?
In the end i understand why they took the detour, the ending made it pretty good.
It basically was like if God of War 4 was a movie at some point. But with a sweet ending.
Just got done watching had to talk about it. And this is the best review so far. The first hour is filled with clichés and in your face foreshadowing like . I have feeling this was really written by a.i .and yes very generic the whole time I was like I've seen all this shit before. Oh don't even get me started with Jennifer's "oh I gotta POP my DISLOCATED shoulder back into the socket" scene. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I guess every actor has that on their bucket list.
Watched it earlier it was great J Lo is a beast Omari Hardwick was great J Lo’s daughter acted very well I didn’t like J Lo’s child’s father his acting was trash great beginning great ending it get a little bit boring in the middle and then kind of speeds back up my rating on this movie is a 8/10
❤❤ all we need is Angelina Jolie and Jlo in a action movie together
Austin Burke really mothered HARD in this review
12yrs later haven't aged a day roughing it in the wilderness her make up and hair are perfect, and still looks like a cf model 😅
😂😂👌💯
Yeah I saw a Netflix clip, and that was my first thought 😂 like wow 'she's really roughing it' lol
The only disappointment i had was about omari character cruise, he had such a great chemistry with jlo they should've explore more to the storyline. I scored these 7.50.
Peoples that says jlo is a bad actor they are lying. She's 53 and this acting level with someone in her age, i think, she did an amazing job 👏
Unfortunately someone like her, will get their flowers when they're not longer with us.
I hope she get her flowers soon
@@negro7969 she keeps herself healthy. You’ll probably get it first before her 😂
3 things that bug me about any movie.
1. Her daughter's identity got found, how? was there a leak a mole. She didn't question this.
2. How was it possible that her daughter was in danger and not secured before being kidnapped.
3. How do these enemies know when and where the car would be and which road to use to collide. With, How would they have known at this case in time that while Zoe was being escorted home the enemy knew she would pass this road at this time and catch up to the car
There's something I noticed during the watch. There's the scene where J Lo chases the guy that was at the park during the kidnapping on foot. The agent she was with walks in the room while she's attacking the guy. He already had blood on his neck before the scuffle begins lol. Idk if they had shot the scene a couple different ways, but forgot to wipe the blood off. It was just funny to me
After the movie my main problem was that i didn't know wtf just happend. xD Why they want the girl? Why they want the mother? What did they actually do? What did i miss? xD
Lol I bet the screenwriters don’t know either
@@AustinBurke Did they want the girl because they thought it's their daughter or wtf? 😆 i will not watch it for a second time to understand the story... 😅
That man wanted revenge on jlo because she told his dirty little secret about his human trafficking. Then he found out about the daughter and knew that was jlos weak spot.
It would be the best revenge for him.
@@HhhhgftrVvvvjjh Telling it is not evidence tho. 😂
@@HhhhgftrVvvvjjh yeah an awfull lot of work and risk just to get back at her.
Also every time they had JLO helpless and at gunpoint they gloated about it and let her turn the tables.
Worst villains ever
I think Jen Gardner was the only really committed female assassin role..
You must be high.
Atleast Ghost went down like a man in this one
After the Harley Davison scene, I couldn’t take anymore…dumb!
That's where I stopped! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do review black knight
Got you
Good Review
i love her and zoey very realistic way teen act
Me encantó la película.❤ excelente.
Me encanta español 🥺
Por que?
Simimar concept movie to Long Kiss Goodnight
I like the movie in general. However, there is something I don't understand. How did Zoe recognize her real mother? All I saw was the mother rescued her daughter and out of nowhere, the girl just popped a question "are you my mother?". I was like how did she know??
Another scene was when Zoe found her mother's letter. How convenient!! The girl just happened to know exactly where to look. On top of that, the letter was inside an envelope which most people will either ignore or have enough courtesy not to open it. Imagine opening a random letter and it happened to be the answer to all questions you've ever had about your own mother.
To me, it's a good enjoyable movie. The best of JLo? Hardly. But it's still nice to see her back on the screen again. The girl who plays Zoe also did a great job.
Same question i had . I remember zoe googling how to know who your biological mother is . Probably she got the answer from google haha
Omg it is a Netflix movie not a documentary. It is meant for entertainment purposes only.
It's implied that Zoe has always known (from Cruise and her adoptive parents) about her bio mother. Considering everything else the audience is asked to "just go along with," Zoe guessing JLO is the mother she heard about all her life is not a big leap. LOL We have seen this thin plot a thousand times except the action hero is usually a man. This time, the hero is a "mother." It's not intended to be overly deep or detailed. I love action movies. It is exactly what I expected. I absolutely loved this movie.
She's adopted. A random woman who looks like her saved her. She's in contact with the guy who updates the mother. Plus the mother connection is very strong. She probably knew the first time she saw her mother.
I liked it I don't care what anyone says.
All good! Opinions are valid
Ice cream comes in different flavors some we like others we don’t .
Loved the movie! JLo was amazing!
She mothered hard! ...or something.
It doesn't matter if the movie is good or bad when Austin uploads a video it always makes my day😀
❤️
Will there be a sequel?
1 hour in and I rly like it
but the action sometimes has way too many cuts!
This should have been a sequel to enough lol.
I went into the film with very little excitement, but was pleasantly surprised!
I thought Jennifer Lopez was surprisingly really solid too.
I actually found the action sequences to be handled rather well?
Granted, it’s not John Wick level, but they still felt grounded and realistic.
However the film is generic and often predictable though…
I also found the daughter to be a tad annoying at times too, especially during the third act!
Good review!
good 2 know
She did her own action scenes much like Angelina did in Salt which is my favorite movie. I didn't know it was JLo until midway bc I was never expecting her to be in such a movie
The film reminded me a lot of Peppermint with Jennifer Garner. It’s a basic action movie that’s carried by a talented actress. I enjoyed the movie a lot because it’s J Lo being a badass. Just like I enjoy Arnold movies or Van Damme movies
When her friend was xhasing that mexican guy and she was driving on a parallel street ... But the guy was running faster than the car.. or near the end when the guys started coming on snowmobiles.... How was the main bad guy already there?? Its so bad.. and the plot never really unfolded.
Actually pretty decent flick IMO
The beginning of the movie is interesting and the early action sequences were good. However, the movie started to drag, in the middle. Then JLO comes out with really dumb "woke" line of dialog saying that the only thing she could do after coming out of the service was get a job as a cashier at a retail store. I have already heard this type of rhetoric in some of her other movies about how Latinos can only be maids, can't get a college education or they have to work in retail stores. Maybe I am crazy...but that one line actually made me turn the movie off. I am not even Hispanic and I just could not hear that same message again.
I dont think she was referring to her race as holding her back but her skillset. Being a killer in afghanistan doesnt translate into being a computer programmer in corporate America. Movie was still garbage and by far the worst movie ive seen this year but I think u interpreted that scene wrong
Those reviews scream fake especially the last one
I liked it! Not like i am a woman and showing you who is boss. Its just i am a mother, give me back my effing daughter.
I thought the writing, the editing, and gun play was terrible. It had the potential to be a great film, but sank with lazy writing and editing that made no sense.
Yeah i had to turn it off 😂
Decent movie
Why is the score on rotten tomatoes so good.
Just wait.
Jlo fans happy to see her working instead of in the headlines.
@@drtash21 ok
I enjoyed it, I really wanted to see her and Omari give us some romantic chemistry. The ending song was perfect for the movie.
Terrible take, movie was hot trash
Better if Maxwell sung his own song.
@@MichelMawon4982 true
I really liked the movie 🍿
Short and sweet . I like your answer
If you like Enough, then you will love this film. And that's not a positive thing. Lol there are better action films out there. What's next? J.Lo fights against Predator? Lol
i think this movie was made for Jennifer Lopez unfortunately but Jennifer Garner would've saved this movie. This would have been a badass movie if JGarner played the lead role
Was ok… generic action film but enjoyed it for what it is.
I loved it!! JLo is one bad ass bitch 😍🔥
You have no taste.
The Botox is on point in this movie
It was boring. Primarily because of the storyline, we’ve seen this script 100 times
Jen and Ben in underwhelming action movies. The end.
Filled with cliches and a predictable plot line that has been done a thousand times, it was what I would expect from a JLo movie - ordinary.
They should've focused more on the romance between Jlo and Omari...Once she linked up with kid it took me out the film.
Loved it!
Bro!! You guys watch the same movie I did? WTF
ONE F##%%>% Star. Gave it a one because it's sooooooo bad, that it's comical.
I saw the movie yesterday. Very generic movie. Protecting the own child as a killer, agent or whatever, we have been seeing lately a lot. Ofc all men are dumb. E.g. in the mid the one villain had the great chance to kill her, and ofc he went for some sexual shit instead of just killing her.
We have a little bit of Leon, the professional. Then ofc the daughter drove back to her mother, get catched. How many time we have seen this?
The action scenes were not very elaborated.
Clearly not a good movie, a 4/10 seems justified, but I expected worse, tbh. :D
Omari Hardwick!!!!!!!!!!
Is this movie have a connection to John Wick?
The movie was several times more entertaining than this review.
So, what’s Netflix going to show?
I'm honestly done with Netflix action movies. Always the same God damn thing, insert female protagonist "here" and make it kill a bunch of super muscular and well trained man that would realistically kill the hero in 5 seconds.
I loved this movie. I even cried at the end lol
Austin,😂I couldn't stop laughing when you remarked is Jlo just picking up a Paycheck.I just watched Ben Afflecks Paycheck again cause i hadnt remembered if it was really that bad the first time i saw it.Awful movie almost as bad as Hypnotic,even with the great Jon Woo directing
John Woo already lost its mojo after Windtalkers😮😮Hahahaha
@@szewei85 I like Cage in almost every thing,if I remember it was to long and slow,but ok
@@user-sd2xj3dk3e haha i see
I personally didn’t like the movie 🎥. nor did I feel it was the right roll for her. Perhaps it’s that she’s been doing music and dancing for so long and the few movies she did were very different. I don’t think this one fit her. I’m very glad I didn’t have to pay for the movie.
The movie is great. PERIOD. I dont care what the negas do blahblah. Jlo is great in anything she does. Imagine at 53 with all those acievements!!! YAK to all the jealous souls.
It was really good 🎉
This movie was so bad. Watch it for the (unintended) laughs, and you'll get through it.
I lasted about 20 minutes. It was ridiculously awful.
Just another generic forgettable Netflix action movie with an A list star with the lead. Yeah I've seen better, great review Austin 👍
Thank you!!
What i honestly don't like about JLO is everytime when i watched her do few serious roles like this, why does it always feel like she's trying way too hard which doesn't feel natural at times. I don't hate her but she's very forgetful actress to me. I like few of her songs though. I think that's best thing about her.
It is nice in rural Upstate New York if you are a tourist with lots of money to spend at the tourist sites in the country/rural geographic areas. the people are nice. It is a poverty-stricken geographic area. Some people don't have electricity because Social Services doesn't help them in the ways that they should. Some people don't have septic tanks in rural Upstate New York and Social Services doesn't help them in the ways that they should or could. Social Services in rural Upstate New York only help who they want and when they want. Rural Upstate New York would be a better place to live IF New York City took over and ran its courts and police departments and Social Services. If rural Upstate New York did stuff similar to the ways that New York City does, then rural Upstate New York would financially have a lot more. If they did stuff similar to the ways that Blacks and Hispanics do then everyone would have more. More financial aid from the Federal government is needed in rural Upstate New York and also in New York City. The Federal government has to give more financial aid to all citizens in the United States and Puerto Rico.
It is sad to live in rural geographic areas because they don't do that much economic development or community revitalization. They don't make it easy for me to stay living here where I live and that is frustrating. I don't have that much family which I already sent you emails and information about. If they made things easier for me then maybe I might enjoy living here where I live but that is not what they seem to have in mind for me. I can barely afford to live here where I live. My sadness is from the poverty that I live in. In New York City I would be living in poverty too but there is a different mindset and different ways of thinking in New York City.
The large corporation that put the trailer park here in rural Upstate New York means well but the way that they do stuff in rural Upstate New York causes poverty and there are lots of empty lots and empty trailers in the trailer parks in the rural Upstate New York geographic areas because the local small towns don't like larger corporations. Almost everyone has to have SSI which is Supplemental Secuirty Income from the Social Security Administration and public assistance to pay rent and buy food and pay for transportation.
I am only one person and I appreciate the JoLo email with the lighter and happier things. I can the sadness on Jennifer Lopez's face. I can see the sadness on Ben Affleck's face. It is challenging to be divorced. It is challenging to have children. It can be stressful to have children from two different spouses together. I pray for Ben and Jen and their kids.
I am only one person and I would gladly move to be with a group of people with who I could live together or work together. Or live in a large one-room studio apartment and go to a place to work for very little pay in a larger city. I would do something similar to what Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are doing if I could.
I would go to the gym almost every day if I could. I would go swimming almost every day if I could. A would find people who I could do group events with such as book clubs and more fun activities. Maybe find an interdenominational church to go to. Licensed Social Workers who provide counseling are also in New York City too.
It is okay to documentary films about the Holocaust and Child Brides and stuff from World War 2. But I don't want to sit around here in this trailer park for the rest of my life. A lot of people ask about my prior background and I have sent information so they can verify information about my prior background. I don't mind looking back at the past and how the past impacts why we are the way we are today in the month of April 2023. The past is why things are the ways that they are now in the year 2023. But I would also like to move forward in my life and I don't see that happening yet. To me, it seems like stagnation.
I don't like living way up here in rural Upstate New York because it is like living in the bible belt and they pray to a dead man whose name is Jesus. Jesus was murdered. Jesus did not choose to die. So they pray to a dead man whose name is Jesus because why? They pray to a dead man that was murdered because why? It is okay to pray to Jesus. I am not making fun of people who pray to Jesus. People have different religions. Thumping bibles.
I lived in New York City from 1994 to 2006 and would gladly move back to New York City and stay in New York City for the rest of my life if I could. A one-room studio apartment in New York City sounds excellent to me. Why a one-room studio apartment? Because it is very expensive to live in New York City so a one-room studio apartment for a single person because I don't have that much family. I don't have children. I won't have grandchildren because I didn't have children. Unless miracles happen. Praying for God's amazing grace miracles. Maybe I could travel to Italy too if I lived in New York City. I like Italy too. I like Europe and European things.
Mommy 😂😭
Her best film since Money Train. She should do more like it.
I'll day it's better then shotgun wedding
I found the movie pretty trivial … nothing especial 😢
I loved this movie!😍❤
damn if you honestly look at this movie it's just stupid... most of the scenes make no sense, all the "action" scenes are straight up stupid... If you look at the movie with an eye where you just don't care for realism, or you don't need the scenes to make sense, it's a fine movie... but if you like thinking at all while you watch a movie, it is hot garbage
Female John wick?
i bet she asked her agent for a female john wick like movie😂😂
@Rachel Dickson not hating her just the movie. they’re biting scripts😂
@Rachel Dickson hollywood can’t find originality anymore ofcourse I hate them for it.
I have never written a movie review before but this movie really sucked 100% . Bad storyline and action. Netflix stick to TV series and leave movies to Hollywood!
38 min in and this movie scores 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮👎👎👎👎👎
I made it to 25 minutes
Not a JLo fan; more of a Danzig fan.
The writing for this movie kinda sucked the action was disappointing
THE MOVIE SUCKED THERE NO WAY TO GET AROUND THAT, MOTOR CYCLE SCENE WAS JUST A SCAM
It was a crappy action movie 😂😂 she’s comes off as a Mary sue but with emotions
I wanted her to leave her entitled spoiled brat daughter with the bad guys. 🤷🏽♂️
This was more of a made for tv movie with action scenes that defied physics. 👎🏽
I am not impressed a bit bored and disappointed of the movie. I miss authenticity. The movie seem to generic and predictable.
Generic women empowerment movie with a paper thin plot punctuated with bland bad guys that are bad for the sake of being bad, Illogical decision making throughout, men with superior builds and equal fighting skills that always lose, and almost no character depth for the supporting actors. And if you been in the military or have even the slightest brain function capable of tactical thinking, then this movie will definitely piss you off. I love strong woman characters, Jessica chastain in zero dark thirty, Emily blunt in sicario, Jennifer Lawrence in hunger games, because they operate in a level of realism propionate to their character. But this movie ain’t it.
P.s. While I enjoyed Omari hardwick (to an extent). They made his character an absolute idiot of an FBI agent.
I mean idk if you’ve ever picked a fight with a “cartel boss” but they’re not the type to forget, this is A reason why witness protection exists.
The final scene I’ll agree with you, he should not have tossed his gun aside, but already thinking on it maybe he assumed that Mother would have had the girl sniping (if the girl running away even crossed his mind idk) .
But I don’t think it’s a generic empowerment movie, I mean the script is still ehhhh, but I did not see that death of cruise coming, but it’s about a mother protecting her child not her finding a man to help her.
Mother also constantly made use of her environment constantly to give herself the upper hand.
Also generic bad guys? They fucking trafficked children. And it’s implied that the bad guy/Lovell would have done terrible fucking things to that girl.
I don’t think it’s a woman empowerment movie first, I think it’s a movie about a parent doing whatever it takes to save their child. I’d say it was about a soldier wrestling with their PTSD before “Mary Sue meets John Wick,”.
That being said I want more female empowerment movies, they tend to have a lens to them I find fascinating, as a man.
But whatever, I don’t really think it’s a women thing more than a men having to deal with their own insecurities. Let’s be honest if this movie was called the Father and had Chris Evans/Hemsworth/Pine actor people would be raving about it.
The script is iffy and JLo definitely carried along with the actress who played Zoe with her great acting. But I feel like they struggled with giving Zoe depth. But ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s called The Mother and not “The Mother and Her Daughter Zoe,”
Idk I don’t think these bad guys “always lost” they only lost once, she passed 12 fucking years before she secured victory. She wasn’t overpowered, she fucked up teaching Zoe counterintelligence/using alias, she has massive PTSD. and you could argue Mother almost got herself and Zoe killed from that wolf bite incident. Because they probably would have had more time if they didn’t enter her name in the database. (If that’s even how they found her, idk I don’t think it is but it never came into play except for separating them a bit so I think that’s how they sent a ‘smoke flare’ so to speak.
