Trigger Warning Reviews
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.
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.
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.
The finale is disappointingly generic, but there's still more to enjoy here than fanciful knife and gun action.
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.
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.
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.
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]
Take this warning. Avoid “Trigger Warning.”
Think of just about any way to spend a couple hours and it's better than this.
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’
Traffics too much in stereotypes.
Its fast-paced action and engaging fight sequences provide just enough entertainment to keep you hooked.
A more apt label for the latest Netflix original might be “Warning: May cause drowsiness.”
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.
A routine thriller from the beginning that gets more monotonous as the minutes go by. (Full Review in Spanish)
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.
Would need to wake up from its sleep-inducing malaise to be a terrible movie. At least bad movies are more interesting for their general state of incompetence. Trigger Warning is too by the numbers, predictable and safe to warrant much emotion at all.
