First Look At Jessica Alba’s Netflix Thriller ‘Trigger Warning’

Jessica Alba has flown under the radar in recent years. Considering she was a highly sought-after actress during the noughties, with a string of hits in her career such as Sin City and numerous rom-coms, it’s certainly been a quieter decade for her.

Now it looks as though she will be reinventing herself as an action star when she graces our screens in her new project, Trigger Warning. In this film, she will portray a special forces commando as she seeks to uncover the truth behind her father’s mysterious death, which is connected to a violent gang.

While speaking to Netflix’s Tudum, Alba discusses her return to action roles, stating, “I haven’t really done hand-to-hand combat and intense action in such a long time,” She further elaborates on her approach to the film’s fight choreography, revealing, “For me, I really wanted it to be a more intimate kind of fighting experience if I needed to take somebody out.” 

The Netflix synopsis reads, Special Forces commando Parker (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. 

Directed by Mouly Surya, she explains her connection to the film, stating, “I think one of the things that attracted me is there’s loss in this film,” Surya says. “And I really connected with that grief of losing… my father a few years before.” 

Trigger Warning hits Netflix on June 21, 2024.
