Jessica Alba has a new movie coming out, and it looks like an interesting popcorn flick.
For our younger readers who might not know, Jessica Alba was a *HUGE* deal back in the mid-200s. She skyrocketed to fame after starring on “Dark Angel” more than 20 years ago, and parlayed that success into several major films.
There’s no question she was the “it girl” in Hollywood for a very long time. Hell, she’s currently only 43-years-old, and it feels like she’s been around my whole life.
Well, she has a new movie on the way, and it’s good to see she still has her fastball.

Trailer released for Jessica Alba’s new film, “Trigger Warning”.
Alba stars in the upcoming Netflix film “Trigger Warning”, and the plot is described as follows:
“Special Forces commando Parker (Jessica Alba) is on active duty overseas when she is called back to her hometown with the tragic news that her father has died suddenly. Now the owner of the family bar, Parker reconnects with her former boyfriend-turned-Sheriff Jesse (Mark Webber), her angry brother Elvis (Jake Weary) and their powerful father, Senator Swann (Anthony Michael Hall), as she seeks to understand what really happened to his father.
Parker’s search for answers quickly goes south and she soon finds herself at odds with a violent gang plaguing her hometown. Unsure of who she can truly trust, Parker draws on her commando training and proves to be a force to be reckoned with as she tracks down the truth and attempts to right what’s wrong in the county from Swann, with the help of his black ops partner and hacker Spider (Tone Bell) and connected local dealer Mike (Gabriel Basso).”
Sold. Say no more. Jessica Alba as a badass commando in search of the truth? This sounds like a script I would have written when I was a teenager, all set on Mountain Dew.

Welcome back, Jessica. Welcome back to the big stage. What an incredible trailer and title for Alba’s latest project.
“Trigger warning.”
No, this is not an attempt to dunk on libraries. It’s a movie about a female commando killing bad guys, and it looks absolutely outrageous and ridiculous.
I don’t mean this as a bad thing. It’s nice to have movies where you turn your brain off and just enjoy.

I’m not even against the idea of an action movie featuring a female commando. Believe it or not, this country has some incredibly talented female commandos who have helped dispose of a lot of human waste. I wish I could say more publicly, but it’s probably going to lead to some very uncomfortable phone calls. Google is your friend. The information is available if you look hard enough.
Trust me when I say we have female beasts who are good at making sure the bad guys are killed. “Lioness” is a reasonably realistic look at this world.
“Trigger Warning” seems to be more about massive fight scenes and shootouts. I’m not angry about that! “Trigger Warning” comes out June 21 on Netflix. I will definitely try. Let me know your thoughts at [email protected].
