Released during Mother’s Day weekend, you’d think a movie called The Mother would be sweet and sentimental. But you’d be wrong. Instead, it’s an action movie starring Jennifer Lopez, who plays a military operative code-named The Mother. While the action does get fierce, there is still some room for maternal drama, as the daughter she gave up for adoption is used as a pawn in an attempt to draw out The Mother. Lopez says it was that idea of a mother fighting for her daughter that made the movie so appealing to her. (Click on the media bar below to hear Jennifer Lopez)
