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.

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.

| Aug 29, 2024

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

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 24, 2024

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

| Jul 17, 2024

A straight-up action film that wants to be John Wick but falls apart with weak storytelling and CGI that pulls you out of the film.

| Original Score: C | Jul 3, 2024

Despite Alba carrying it the best she can, narrative shortcuts, generic characters, and hokey dialogue only make things worse for this limp and lifeless attempt at an action thriller.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 2, 2024

The finale is disappointingly generic, but there's still more to enjoy here than fanciful knife and gun action.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 1, 2024

Avoid this one unless you want to see a bunch of rednecks getting killed and if you are not too worried about any semblance of a sensical plot.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 1, 2024

Because Trigger Warning is so indebted to other movies, it struggles to craft a discernible identity of its own. It is neither serious nor silly; it’s barely serviceable, but completely stodgy.

| Jun 30, 2024

Since we’re in an era of elaborately choreographed action that one has to pray is shot with clarity, some decent enough sequences find Alba putting in her training that recalls the days of Dark Angel. Otherwise, it’s all very perfunctory.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 28, 2024

Great having Jessica Alba back on-screen once again. The rest? Not so much. An action film that's as much generic, as it is boring. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 28, 2024

Take this warning. Avoid “Trigger Warning.”

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 28, 2024

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

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jun 27, 2024

The plot takes itself so seriously that the ugliness of its villainous politics is a bug more than a feature. Especially as its action is so scattershot and interruptive that half of the combatants tend to either give up or just say ‘stop it’

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 27, 2024

Traffics too much in stereotypes.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 27, 2024

Its fast-paced action and engaging fight sequences provide just enough entertainment to keep you hooked.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 26, 2024

A more apt label for the latest Netflix original might be “Warning: May cause drowsiness.”

| Jun 24, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 24, 2024

A routine thriller from the beginning that gets more monotonous as the minutes go by. (Full Review in Spanish)

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 24, 2024

Flaws and all, the whole thing is still competent enough, but the issue is that every fight feels like what would be the third or fourth best fight in a much better movie and leaves the viewer waiting top tier action to arrive. It never does.
