'The Mother' on Netflix: Jennifer Lopez shares first look trailer

Jennifer Lopez is looking tough in Netflix's new trailer for "The Mother."

In her latest flick, the 53-year-old will play an assassin coming out of hiding to protect her daughter who she left earlier in her life from assailants, according to the streaming service.

Netflix posted on Saturday, Sept. 24 to Twitter a first look at the movie in a 48-second long teaser with the caption, "There’s nothing stronger than a mother’s love — and these assassins are about to learn that the hard way. Jennifer Lopez is The Mother."

The trailer starts with a wintery scene and Lopez doing pull ups in the woods. Several shots follow of the "Let's Get Loud" singer with guns and traveling through various terrains.

Though her daughter seems to be at some point caught by assailants, there's also a moment where Lopez is talking to her the dangers and troubles of their lives.
