The film, which has reached No 1 on Netflix in the UK, has been torn apart by both critics and subscribers, with many calling it one of the worst movies they’ve seen all year.

Alba stars as Parker, a US Special Forces commando stationed overseas who is forced to return home when her father is killed. However, the film’s plot and writing have been heavily criticized, with many calling it boring and dumb.
“Trigger Warning is one of the most boring movies I’ve seen all year, but it’s also far and away the dumbest! A film seemingly made to justify Netflix’s ability to watch things at 1.5x speed.” - Netflix subscriber
Despite the negative reviews, Alba’s acting ability and action sequences have been praised by some critics. However, the film’s overall rating on Rotten Tomatoes stands at a dismal 25%, with an even lower audience score of 19%.

In the late 1970s, a fresh crowd of flamboyant fashionistas, who would later be christened the New Romantics, began to materialize on the streets of London, England. This movement, which rose from the nihilistic ashes of the punk movement, was characterized by its flamboyant and androgynous style.
