Jessica Alba’s latest movie, “Trigger Warning,” has faced significant criticism from Netflix fans since its release. The 43-year-old actress stars in the action thriller and also serves as an executive producer. The film follows the story of an active-duty Special Forces officer who inherits her father’s bar and discovers a violent gang terrorizing her hometown.
Unfortunately, viewers have not been impressed with the movie, giving it a low 15 per cent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Many fans took to social media platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their disappointment, calling the film “predictable garbage” and a “waste of time.” Despite the backlash, Jessica Alba appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to discuss the movie-making process and highlight the female-driven team behind the scenes.
During her interview, Alba emphasized her desire to create a grounded, female-driven action movie. She praised the women involved in the project, including the director, writer, producers, DP, and set deck members. Alba highlighted the importance of having women in key roles within a genre typically dominated by men, showcasing the talent and strength of female professionals in the industry.
While “Trigger Warning” may have received negative feedback from some viewers, Alba’s commitment to empowering women in film and creating opportunities for female representation behind the camera is commendable. Despite the mixed reception of the movie, Alba’s dedication to promoting diversity and inclusivity in the action genre is a step in the right direction for the industry.
