Jessica Alba plays tough elite soldier
A family tragedy, a village full of scoundrels, and a heroine who cleans up the mess: "Trigger Warning" with Jessica Alba fits pretty much every cliche. In the end, it's a film that nobody needed!
It's becoming increasingly annoying how streaming services like Netflix try to push certain films on viewers as hit movies. The California-based US media company has been producing more and more of its own content in recent times, which, put mildly, makes viewers question the continuation of their subscriptions.
The latest source of irritation: the action thriller "Trigger Warning". Hollywood star Jessica Alba plays the elite soldier Parker in it, who returns to her hometown to unravel a conspiracy surrounding the supposed car accident death of her father. The script seems to be from the 1980s, the action is dry, and the acting of the main actress is a total failure. "Trigger Warning" itself needs a trigger warning, because such films are unnecessary.
A detailed critique of "Trigger Warning" by Ronny Rüsch and Axel Max - now in a new episode of the ntv podcast "Oscars & Himbeeren". Also included: the psychological thriller "Mothers' Instinct", the tragicomedy "Weekend Rebels", and the psychological thriller "Eileen".
Despite the criticism, some viewers might still be drawn to action movies on Netflix, such as "Trigger Warrior," starring Jessica Alba. However, the entertainment value of such films, like "Trigger Warning," often falls short, leaving viewers questioning their subscription decisions.
