Jennifer Lopez impressed a well-known action director Lopez made a career starring in thrillers and action features. She burst into the movie scene with action flicks like Money Train . She further proved herself capable of headlining her own action movies like Enough .
Her performances in the genre helped catch the attention of filmmaker John Woo, who was known for some of his exciting, adrenaline-fueled work such as Face/Off and Mission: Impossible 2 . He’d also worked with Lopez’s ex-boyfriend Ben Affleck in Paycheck . Woo might’ve paid Lopez the highest compliment he could’ve by speaking about her legitimacy as an action star.
“I would love to do a film with John Woo. I think that would be amazing and it’s funny because he said the same thing. He said, ‘Jennifer Lopez is the only woman I think I can do an action movie with.
’ I don’t know what he saw me in, maybe an old film on TV or something. Right now he’s not doing any action films, but I told him to let’s do something together. Let’s think about it.
Try to remember that,” Lopez once said, according to Black Film . How Jennifer Lopez felt about still doing action movies in her 50s Lopez hasn’t slowed down in her more mature years. An argument can even be made that she’s starting to ramp it .
