Earlier this week The Mother Netflix original movie unveiled its official trailer, and all we have to say is that J.Lo is looking more badass than ever.

Jennifer Lopez plays the role of an ex-assassin in The Mother Netflix original movie. After killing several FBI agents, she is advised that the only way to keep her daughter safe is to go on the run and leave her behind. Unfortunately, her daughter gets kidnapped in an effort to draw Lopez’s character back. Lopez then issues a foreboding warning.

“I’m a killer, but I’m also a mother,” she says. “And I will die protecting her.”

Lopez has to educate her 12-year-old daughter, played by Lucy Paez, to defend herself. Other cast members include Paul Raci (Butcher’s Crossing), Joseph Fiennes (The Handmaid’s Tale), Gael Garca Bernal (Y Tu Mama Tambien), and Omari Hardwick (Army of the Dead).
