Trigger Warning
Trigger Warning
Trigger Warning is, however, quite inauspicious, since the perfect beginning is a rather jarring chase sequence. The story commences in the Badiyat al-Sham desert in Syria, where elite soldiers pursuing potential terrorists in toy-like trucks constructed with CGI features ride along the sands led by Parker, played by Jessica Alba.
The interior of Parker’s jeep which is most likely a break down on a sound set stays rather still as she shoots her gun out the window. This episode is not long lasting; the climax is exceptionally and anticlimactically unifying with a flimsy and hastily shot collision of a Syrian’s truck.
The only reason other than being just an uninspired cold open is to get rid of Brown people in a gory fashion linguistically construction Parker as a stickler killer killing the enemy team later preventing a team member from shooting MENA prisoners.
“Trigger Warning,” an Indonesian made film directed by Mouly Surya owes its origin to a screenplay written by three assorted books, John Brancato, Josh Olson and Halley Wegryn Gross-and, it seems, too. It is as I said that with due respect this one is not the way forward, the Ernest Isham rural revenge thriller becomes hazy to this extent.
Parker on the other hand gets a distress call from Jesse Mark Webber the town sheriff calling to inform Parker on her father’s demise due to a mine rushes in. She makes it back after a long trip only to find before her something that looks like his suicide note and to reclaim the bar that he had quit. As far as the rest of the world’s events go, such details if at all do anything more than enhancing her storyline do not quite seem to work for Parker.
Her dad was a Green Beret – no wonder he was quite involved in the mining accident, though this was attributed to his misplacing the pin of a grenade. Also, there are machine guns, rockets, grenades, all sort of vicious weapons that all of a sudden appear in the region.
“Trigger Warning”, is a dark, drama film that has taken itself so seriously but offers no sense of how crazy arthouse it can be. Or at least the competence for making it to the dramatic heights it so seeks.
I can personally take a bare bones script – light backstories and simplistic character motives will always work for me. What I can’t stand is a convoluted script. Such handicap happens often in “Trigger Warning” and even more frequently with the Shaw family.
After a little snooping round, Parker finds her dad’s hidden camera footage of Elvis Shaw (Jake Weary) doing illegal weapon trades with some patriotic ghaddafis. Elvis’ father, Senator Swan (Anthony Michael Hall) is out seeking re election and gets a long detour seeking the motives behind his son’s involvement. All of them seem completely unreasonable.
What is Elvis doing trying heavy duty arms next to an army base? Why does Senator Swan so wish for Parker’s endorsement? But most of all, why are we supposed to be rooting for Parker? Due to the vagueness of her background, it is often played for laughs. However, I really want to know the basics of why or how can one have sympathy for a psychopathic murderous assassin Parker?
It is evident that Surya at times is fighting against her budget and her script. The same happened with her earlier feature ‘Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts’, which is a rural Indonesian thriller and premiered at Cannes and was sent to the Academy Awards as an entry from Indonesia. She makes good use of that experience here.
Other than those rickety VFX heavy sequences, Surya elicits some beautifully mounted frames: large stretches of mountains with dirt roads and wooden houses give warm visuals. Where the summer fun, big gun fights across this tiny hamlet are a flop, the human interaction scenes, places in tattered bars and cute little houses are notably built down.
However, there is a void in writing when it comes to the rural region in which the film is set. There is the Latinx component that should be addressed in this frame which felt rather than where the head of the white family dominated a Latinx blouse town.
There is a dead-end that lacks real Conservative politics with touches like Jesse Hughes torn between her allegiance to her family and Parker. Those in immediate focus are rather interesting concepts that may easily perform some thematic function when afforded a bit more room. Here, they are duly neglected.
This too little room also applies to the fight scenes with physical engagement.

Snapping is missing in the choreography as well (This is cos played by Alba Nuk) who is Yawn quarter length of screen time to Filipino performer Cosmopolitan težki taji poleg. Alba is not a concrete action star, but an overly bland character who does not focus or have time to create what could have been an interesting voice, in each episode.
Despite, the original intention, once one begins watching “Trigger Warning,” it is hard to regard it as a bad movie, with the dull action and the confused writing. It is rather mild compared to how much worse the movies can be, particularly for the action-thriller movies, far worse, much too much far better movie.
But and that is, particularly being average should not be the main goal whatsoever. Most reliably a revenge film collection accompanied by Netflix seems to be able to achieve that balance to some extent, and this floating feature seems to do it even slightly better. Slightly better it is; nevertheless, it still fails to achieve any of ‘Trigger Warning’ standing up from other clumps of contents available in the streamers.
