Trigger Warning is the kind of movie you expect nothing from and are pleasantly surprised if you are in the frame of mind to be jollied along for a hectic ride. The action is happily unrelenting from start to finish. We begin at the mandatory anonymous desert with a chase and flying bullets.
Special Forces commando Parker (Jessica Alba) efficiently disposes of the nameless bad guys. There is bad news waiting for Parker as her father, Harry, (Alejandro De Hoyos) has died suddenly. She returns to her hometown of Creation (really) to find she has inherited the family bar as well as a bunch of secrets and lies.
She meets her former boyfriend and now sheriff, Jesse, (Mark Webber) to make sense of her father’s death who died in an explosion in a mine. Parker is surprised by that as Harry knew the mine well, having made it a comfortable den, as a character says, “he made a man cave in a cave.” There are new cameras installed at the mine and once Parker tells her covert ops partner and hacker, Spider (Tone Bell) to have a look at the footage, things begin to happen.
Jesse’s brother Elvis (Jake Weary) and father Senator Swann (Anthony Michael Hall) might have something to do with the evil doings at Creation. Mike, (Gabriel Basso) who makes weed, is one more person Parker can count on for help. There is a threat to security, another almost nameless terrorist, lots of explosions and firefights and a wee bit of torture before all comes well in the end, which we hear over the radi.
