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.

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.

2/5

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.

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

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

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.

This was a low budget film and typical where things that happen can’t really happen. Ex. Running away with a big head start and bam the person chasing catches up in no time. Not very happy with the acting. Thumbs down on this movie, not good at all.

I really liked the premise however, the editing and fractured story line made it hard to watch. Towards the end, thought this was a high school movie project. Too bad as it was a cool story line, just poor execution.

I guess all the focus on knives made them forget about Chekhov’s gun.

This film illustrates the need to make multiple copies of the script. They didn't. It got lost. And the screenwriter was unavailable.

I cut the movie off from the first fight scene than came back and watched the rest. I'm upset I didn't follow my first instinct!
