Second, I don't think a mother figure works better. If the character is presented as protective, and caring, it really doesn't matter the genre of the character nor the audience can emphatize more with it. While the movie doesn't follow closely the plot of the game, it doesn't really mader because no gender was changed at all, just a female lead was picked.

 

I disagree, I think it does work better with a mother.  It's more congruent with current gender roles as therefore require less suspension of disbelief.

So a father would never look for their daughter?  Would he just have drove away?  Can he not feel the same amount of love and devotion a mother can?

That's funny, cause no one had to suspend their disbelief playing the game.  If you truly have that low an opinion of men, you are just as sexist as the director and writer of that movie.  Or the slim minority bashing this movie just because they are women.
