Jessica Alba says her new action movie, 'Trigger Warning,' is a throwback to her favorites in the genre, but this time it's the 'women kicking ass.'
. The audience sees Alba wielding a blade and fighting off a man with a chainsaw, among other badass moves.Alba stars as Parker, a special forces commando who leaves active duty overseas to come home after her father dies suddenly. Now the owner of her family's bar, she finds herself reconnecting with her former boyfriend, Jesse , who's now the sheriff, as well as his brother Elvis and his powerful and possibly sinister father, Sen. Swann, played by Anthony Michael Hall.
According to the official description: "Parker's search for answers quickly goes south, and she soon finds herself at odds with a violent gang running rampant in her hometown. Unsure of who she can truly trust, Parker draws on her commando training and proves herself a force to be reckoned with as she hunts down the truth and attempts to right what has gone wrong in Swann County with the help of her covert ops partner and hacker Spider and connected local dealer Mike .
While it's Alba's first foray into the genre in a few years, she's a veteran of physically intense TV series, including"Jessica is an actress with strong instincts," Surya tells EW. "She has the ability to carry herself well in physically demanding scenes with immense motivation and her own flair, adding another layer to the character of Parker. She's not just quick and precise, but she also brings a fiery energy.
"So it was pretty easy for me at that time to access that, just that sadness that comes with grief and losing someone and how it can kind of catch you by surprise," Alba says. "And then also I think her real drive and desire to figure out the truth because she just knew intuitively that something was up, that something was wrong. And I think so many times we're told that our instincts aren't right and not to press our intuition.
