A special forces commando returns to her hometown after her father's sudden death, only to run afoul of a violent gang when she starts asking questions.
Trigger Warning is directed by Mouly Surya director of Fiski (2008), What They Don't Talk About When They Talk About Love (2013) and Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts (2017).
Look I'm happy to see Jessica Alba out of retirement, she's a fun actress that I do genuinely root for a lot of the time. However Trigger Warning is horrendous, it's very obvious Netflix needed a recognizable name to advertise their next cliche Netflix original action film (much like with Heart Of Stone and Apex).
Jessica Alba and the choreography are the only positives here, it does shock me to see this movie actually have quite decent up close combat. Usually with a lot of these movies you get one or two scenes of it and they tend to be a "blink and you miss it" moment, but here you actually get a healthy amount.
Having that said just about everything else is terrible, the story is incredibly predictable and the writing is abysmal. It doesn't help that the story being told isn't very interesting at all, this is your usual terrible revenge action thriller affair that does absolutely nothing new or investing with it's plot.
I really have nothing else to say here, Trigger Warning is one of those movies where you immediately forget about it by the next week. It's not here to say anything or do anything interesting, it's here to be put on as background noise.
Trigger Warning is available on Netflix.
