Jennifer Lopez's Next Movie Has A Great Shot At Breaking A Bad RT Streaming Streak

Summary The upcoming biographical sports drama Unstoppable can break Jennifer Lopez's current Rotten Tomatoes trend.

Lopez's recent streaming movies have received poor reviews.

Unstoppable is based on Anthony Robles's true story.

Jennifer Lopez has starred in a handful of critically acclaimed movies, like Selena and Hustlers, but Lopez's Rotten Tomatoes scores in the past couple of years exhibit a disappointing pattern that can be broken via her next film. The actress' most recent project was Atlas, a Netflix science fiction action movie directed by Brad Peyton and written by Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite, which premiered in May 2024. Lopez starred as the lead character, Atlas Shepherd, a counterterrorism analyst who must go against her anti-AI beliefs to save humanity. While Atlas is trending on Netflix, its reviews have been subpar.

Unfortunately, Atlas's Rotten Tomatoes score debuted as one of Lopez's worst-rated movies ever, and the bad news is that it is only the latest of the actress's films to receive poor scores on the review-aggregation website since 2023. Many of Lopez's movies are still popular despite bad reviews (e.g. Atlas), but it's undoubtedly still disheartening to see a plethora of "Rotten" scores on the actress's Rotten Tomatoes page. Nevertheless, Lopez pushes on, and her next film could easily change the tides for her.

Unstoppable Can Break Jennifer Lopez's Current Rotten Tomatoes Trend

The Actress's Recent Streaming Movies Have Gotten "Rotten" Scores

Jennifer Lopez is set to star in Unstoppable, an Amazon biographical sports film that has yet to receive a release date. Based on the upcoming movie's subject material, cast, and production team, it has the bones to be Lopez's best streaming project in the past few years. Since the premiere of Shotgun Wedding in 2023, Lopez's streaming films have earned poor Tomatometer scores on Rotten Tomatoes (without counting This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, the complimentary movie to her 2024 album), with the Netflix movie Atlas being the worst by a wide margin. But Unstoppable can break that streak.

Movie Release Date Streaming Platform Tomatometer Audience Score Shotgun Wedding January 27, 2023 Amazon Prime Video 44% 51% The Mother May 12, 2023 Netflix 43% 62% Atlas May 24, 2024 Netflix 17% 52%

Unstoppable is directed by William Goldenberg (an Oscar winning film editor), written by John Hindman, and produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon through their production company, Artists Equity. It is based on Anthony Robles and Austin Murphy's 2012 book Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion, which chronicles Robles' inspiring true story as a wrestler who was born with only one leg. Aside from Lopez, the Unstoppable cast includes Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, and Don Cheadle.

Unfortunately, not much is known about the upcoming biographical sports drama other than its source material and a couple of the roles. Jennifer Lopez is set to star as Judy Robles, Anthony's mother, in Unstoppable, while Jharrel Jerome plays the young wrestler. Other than that, those who are eager to learn more about Unstoppable will have to wait for Amazon to release a trailer or drop any other pertinent information about the movie.

Although Amazon hasn't announced a release date for Unstoppable, principal photography on the upcoming film wrapped in January 2024, so, it's possible that it may premiere on Amazon Prime Video sometime in 2025.
