Alba hasn’t always made the strongest impression as an actor but this mode works well for her, convincing both in her many hand-to-hand combat scenes (her weapon of choice is a knife rather than a gun) and as an old-fashioned movie star, light on emotional depth but heavy on charisma.
Indonesian director Mouly Surya’s well-crafted first English-language feature is too formulaically contrived to qualify as “elevated genre” or to boast the personal stamp of her prior work. Still, it’s an entertaining, pacey action melodrama.

8/10 Completely serviceable, watchable good TV. As with many Netflix offerings, way better than broadcast TV drama-action fare was 1960s-1990s. Lots of fighting action but no gore for gore's sake.
Nice to see Jessica Alba working. She's no Jennifer Lopez yet is quite workable here. She was also a producer. I wonder if she had input into the script, which has some nice tweaks and variations on the usual revenge-action plot; including, some people actually taking care of each other. Congrats to all involved making this.

The filmmakers frustratingly fail to dig into the familiar territory they’re traversing. What should serve as a warm welcome for Mouly Surya (helming her first English-language picture) and a kick-ass welcome back to lead roles for star Jessica Alba turns into a congealed mess of squandered potential.
An unremarkable and quickly forgettable B-movie. Jessica Alba makes a decent stab for John Wick’s particular brand of movie vengeance, but she needs better material than this.
Trigger Warning is a self-serious, brooding film without the wherewithal to know how righteously dumb it could be if it committed to the bit. Or, at least, the expertise to elevate it to the suspenseful level it so desperately aims to reach.
The veteran-comes-home revenger Trigger Warning is thoroughly idiotic and deathly slow, filled with so much ugly camp that it could stand in as the first Lifetime Original action movie.
In Trigger Warning, there's nowhere for Alba to go — no notable battles to fight, nor an interesting war to win. And what we're left with is just another disposable action movie, dropped indiscriminately on a streaming service to sit among all the others.
This 2024 film is a story of Parker (Jessica Alba) a special forces officer that returns home upon the death of her Dad (Alejandro De Hoyos) Once home Parker questions the cause of death which eventually leads to her needing the use of her specialized military training. I enjoyed this action thriller directed by Mouly Surya in her English-Language film debut, nicely done Mouly. The cast includes Anthony Michael Hall (Senator Swann) Mark Webber (Jesse), Tone Bell (Spider), Jake Weary (Elvis, not the King of Rock n Roll), and Gabriel Basso (Mike) to name just a few of this talented group. Jessica is not only a Bad*** businesswoman in real life, but channels her inner (Dark Angel) in this film. Enjoy action thriller fans, enjoy.

Jessica Alba e Jeniffer Lopez viraram as queridinhas dos sreamings,deixando o papel de mulher sexy e encenando personagens mais violentas. Claro que há uma certa complacência do roteiro, mas já não isso com Rambo, John Wick ou com Ethan Hunt? Então reclamar da ajuda do roteiro em fazer as balas desviarem do corpo feminino ou de vitalidade daquele corpo é pura bobagem. Aqui, particularmente, gosto de como o roteiro trata a individualidade da protagonista sem apelar para um necessário par romântico, o que conferiu um ar de independência maior, fazendo-se necessário relações mais cordiais e de amizade. Há tembém um leve pincelamento sobre a ultra direita norte-americana, e por mais maniqueísta que seja, ganhou pontos comigo.

Charlize Theron cracked two teeth while training for "Atomic Blonde", whereas Jessica Alba doesn't even ruin her nail polish but cries every time she sees a picture of her father. Mirabilia of the Netflixian universe.

This latest kick-ass chick flick casts Jessica Alba as a Special Forces commando who moves back home to take over her father's bar. So she'll have some ass to kick, there's a cadre of bad guys terrorizing her and her community. This is a formula film that offers absolutely nothing original in the plot or dialogue. The ONLY thing to watch is her character's quick, brutal dispatching of her opponents. Alba does manage to perform the treacherous acrobatic stunts effectively, but at this point in the action genre, we need something more. This dud offers nothing.
