THE MOTHER | Jennifer Lopez | Official Trailer | Netflix

This Mother's Day weekend, Netflix will release the action film "The Mother," starring Jennifer Lopez as both a killer and a mother.

The international singer, dancer, and actor plays a former killer in the just released trailer who left her previous life and family behind to protect her now 12-year-old daughter. The FBI made a deal with Lopez, according to the trailer, after three agents were killed and two dangerous men were still at large. Years later, when her daughter is abducted, Lopez's character must emerge from hiding and reenter her life in order to save her. She teaches her daughter how to endure in the face of peril while she tortures, shoots, stabs, and headbutts the kidnappers' men.
