Mothers Day actually has something to offer the viewer but as is so often the case these days, "the message" gets in the way.
Lets start with the positives. Creative use of action. Action is comprised mostly of well choreographed, if not overly convincing, fight scenes. Innovation is the key here, using a range of things as weapons, right down to tins of beer (a terrible waste if you ask me).
The story's not original but not too bad either. The characterisations, especially the lead, have a little depth and humanity, rather than being of the cardboard, cut out, "hero" variety.
