Unable to believe the way he died, she delves deep into the circumstances surrounding his demise, and uncovers evidence suggesting foul play and sets out on a quest for justice.

All of us can collectively agree that Alba ages like fine wine; it’s so good to see her back in action. This adrenaline-fueled trailer seems to balance the emotional complexities of her character along with tons of hand-to-hand combat. The movie promises to be thrilling as well as gritty, but I do feel the trailer has revealed more than needed about its storyline. On the bright side, however, it’s exciting to see the actress take on a role in which we’ve never seen her before. The film aims to keep you on the edge of your seat with its gripping narrative. With themes of betrayal, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of justice, ‘Trigger Warning’ is bound to be one fun, entertaining watch.

Written by John Brancato & Josh Olson and Halley Gross, and produced by Erica Lee, Basil Iwanyk and Esther Hornstein, ‘Trigger Warning’ also stars Mark Webber, Tone Bell, Jake Weary, Gabriel Basso and Anthony Michael Hall in pivotal roles.

Directed by Mouly Surya, ‘Trigger Warning’ will be available to stream from June 21, only on Netflix.
