How does a man who kills for a living keep praying, and keep raising his children? Bassam Tariq's Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother puts that question in front of Mahershala Ali, John Cho and Giancarlo Esposito and lets it run across a single desperate stretch of Houston.
What is Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother about?
Latif is a hitman and a believer. For years he has kept the two halves apart, doing the job, observing his faith and coming home to his family as if the three never touched. Then his wife dies, and the walls between them give way at once. With people closing in from every direction, he moves his children across Houston in search of somewhere safe, and the further he goes the harder it becomes to tell which threat is worse: the ones chasing him through the city, or the doubts about everything he has believed that are spreading inside him. Tariq's film is a chase, a family story and a crisis of conscience playing out at the same pace.

Context & significance
Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother is a 2026 production from the United States and the United Kingdom, running 105 minutes. The title, with its triple repetition, echoes a well-known saying from Islamic tradition in which the Prophet, asked who most deserves a person's good treatment, answers 'your mother' three times, and it points at the film's preoccupation with faith, family duty and what is owed to the people who raised you, themes that sit under the surface of the thriller plot. Houston gives the film a specific American setting, and the premise, a devout contract killer whose certainties come apart after a loss, places it closer to character drama than to a conventional action film.
