Jennifer Lopez transforms into an assassin in the action-packed trailer for her forthcoming movie “The Mother.”
The sneak peek of the Netflix film starts with Lopez’s character shortly after she gives birth. An FBI agent informs her she has to give up her daughter and go on the run, lest the bad guys whose operation Lopez’s assassin character disrupted find them both.
Eventually, the baddies catch up with her now-tween daughter (Lucy Paez), forcing Lopez’s character out of hiding to find her and hunt her abductors down.
“They’re using her to get to me,” she tells an ally, played by Omari Hardwick.
The girl doesn’t know her mom, but quickly learns she needs to trust her.
“I wanna go home,” she says.
“Not until you know how to survive,” Lopez tells her daughter, as she trains her to do just that.
Lopez’s character later describes herself in the trailer as “a killer.”
“But I’m also a mother, and I will die protecting her,” she adds, referring to her daughter.
The movie drops on Netflix May 12.
