Skip it. 'The Mother' has all the ingredients for a solid action-thriller—a badass female lead, high stakes, maternal redemption—but the critical consensus is brutal across the board. With scores hovering in the low-to-mid 40s, this one isn't firing on enough cylinders to justify your time tonight.

Plot
