Special Forces commando Parker (Jessica Alba) is on active duty overseas when she gets called back to her hometown with the tragic news that her father has suddenly died. Now the owner of the family bar, Parker reconnects with her former boyfriend-turned-sheriff Jesse (Mark Webber), his hot-tempered brother Elvis (Jake Weary) and their powerful father Senator Swann (Anthony Michael Hall), as she looks to understand what actually happened to her dad. Parker's search for answers quickly goes south and she soon finds herself at odds with a violent gang running rampant in her hometown. Unsure of who she can truly trust, Parker draws on her commando training and proves herself a force to be reckoned with as she hunts down the truth and attempts to right what has gone wrong in Swann County, with the help of her covert ops partner and hacker Spider (Tone Bell) and connected local dealer Mike (Gabriel Basso).

Critics Consensus

Trigger Warning sure packs a punch when doling out clichés and dialing up the snooze fest.

TheWrap

Some B-movies, of course, are highly entertaining. This one, though, seems like it was as much of a slog to make as it is to watch.

Think of just about any way to spend a couple hours and it's better than this.

Empire Magazine

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.

Rated: 2/5

Trigger Warning is a lacklustre family dramedy that rarely feels original. Jessica Alba makes her return to screens in this Netflix original and stretches the boundaries of believability as a US marine. Best avoided.

Its great to see Jessica Alba back in action but there is nothing "special" about it all.

Rated: 5/10

This action film does a proficient job sustaining tension, but its settings, characters, and plot feel like a blend of ideas you've seen before. Trigger Warning's political message is also a little spotty, making a tenuous connection

Astonishingly poorly written and realised film. A waste of everyone's time and effort in making it and ours in attempting to watch it.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

A nice to watch film. Enough action to keep interest a nice story line. I'd watch it again and would recommend to anyone looking for a feel good action film.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

My god this was terribly written. The writer should be banned from everything in the entire industry. I might just skip season 2 of the Night Agent now, just because the main actor is also in this heap of trash.

Horrible plot, an action movie for the sake of being an action movie. Passable acting and good filming can't recover this soggy predictable overdone plot. I would only recommend this movie if.... never. Don't watch this.

C- at best. The story line and acting was mediocre. So she was able to dispose of Ghost a known criminal in like 30 seconds but then gets disarmed by Elvis? Come on now
