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.

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

Rated: 0/4

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

Benjamin Lee

Guardian

It’s not quite enough to push the film into genuinely smart or noteworthy territory but it adds some punchy election year anger to Alba’s inevitable and involving revenge mission.

Rated: 3/5

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

Rated: 5/10

Common Sense Media

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

Derek Sante

KSNV (Las Vegas)

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.

Rated: C

Maybe the plot is good, but I have no idea because the first 4 minutes were so bad that I couldn't watch any more. I'm now starting to get triggered by terrible quality screen writing so this movie totally lives up to its name. The opening scene shows a US military Team A driving a van being warned by Team B that one of the two cars chasing them is lining up for a bazooka shot, so Team B move into a sniper position and take an incredible precision shot at a moving target over a significant distance to kill the driver....of the car that DOESN'T have the boozooka. *facepalm*. So Team A's van gets bazooka'd, with our Jessica Alba protagonist in passenger seat, and the van flips on it's side, and the driver mysteriously dies. For no apparent reason. What? Did I miss something? Well, I'm not gonna re-watch even that bit to check. It's not worth it. This is a dead film. What a waste of Jessica Alba. I'm now just fed up with BS like this coming out of the film studios.

I could name many other Netflix films that are worse, but this was a decent watch, although forgettable. Could have been a much better movie.

Given 1 star just because I cannot give 0. Absolutely one of the worst move of the last decade! The plot makes absolutely NO SENSE. Who wrote this?!? Drunken apes? WARNING - SPOILERS A tech genie able to intrude any network does not discover in 3 days what a country sherif catch on Google in a couple hours. A military connected with FBI receive a call from a fellow soldier in which she literally shout "they are torturing me" and does NOTHING for 3 days. A lawer disappear and NO ONE does anything. Someone calls a military camp telling them "someone is stealing your weapon" and they HANG UP the call?!?! And those are just a few examples.
