Female Rambo meets John Wick New Netflix action is torn

No one can match Jessica Alba as a merciless elite soldier. At least that’s what a look at the Netflix Top 10 shows, which is now led by the action blockbuster Trigger Warning: Female Rambo meets John Wick“, the makers described it according to Deadline. Despite its success in the rankings, critics are tearing the film apart.

This is what the critics say about the Netflix action Trigger Warning

Trigger Happy revolves around the young elite soldier Parker (Alba), who returns to her home village after the death of her father. There, the family of Senator Swann (Anthony Michael Hall) is in charge and fights tooth and nail against Parker’s investigations.

The action film, which was in development for eight years according to Deadline’s report, received a below-average critical response when it was released on June 21, 2024. “Another interchangeable action film“, Collider says: “Jessica Alba needs better material“, writes Empire .

The Trigger Warning producers certainly also owe Alba the first place in the Netflix ranking: After all, the star of Dark Angel and Sin City has not been featured so prominently in a film for many years, especially not as “female Rambo“.
