The Mother (2023)
Good Action Movie
Exciting, the movie is almost 2 hours and not boring .
Haters gave a small rating, fortunately I tried to watch it first, there are very few movies like this , its really enjoyable, so exciting, I plan to watch it one more time ;) synopsis(copy): As this action drama opens a woman is being questioned at an FBI safe house. They want to know about a deal involving former SAS soldier Adrian Lovell and Cuban arms dealer Hector Álvarez. She insists they move to a safer location first. Soon afterwards armed men attack the house. All but one of the agents is killed and Lovell stabs the woman, who we learn is pregnant, in the gut. She and the baby girl survive but she is forced to put the child up for adoption. The surviving agent promises to tell the mother how the girl, named Zoe, is doing. Twelve years pass and the FBI learn that Álvarez is targeting Zoe. Her mother positions herself to protect her but she gets snatched anyway. What follows will lead her to Cuba and then the wilds of Alaska. She will have to face many enemies and teach her daughter how to survive against overwhelming odds.
This might not be a great film but I'd say it was far from terrible and if you enjoy the genre it is well worth a watch. There is a good amount of action. This is nicely varied in style and locations. Inevitably one has to suspend ones disbelief more than once as characters make silly mistakes to help progress the plot and our protagonist easily deals with numerous goons without any real injury before the inevitable confrontation with the antagonist. The cast is solid enough. Jennifer Lopez put in a fine performance as 'The Mother' and young Lucy Paez impressed as Zoe. Obviously there is some violence but, for the most part, it isn't particularly gory meaning it is unlikely to disturb many viewers. Overall a solid action film; not a must watch but worth watching if you enjoy the genre and have a couple of hours to kill; just don't expect anything you haven't seen before.
