Netflix Trigger Warning

[Infamous114]

​

A skilled Special Forces commando (Alba) takes ownership of her father's bar after he suddenly dies and soon finds herself at odds with a violent gang running rampant in her hometown.​

 

[O.G.]

Netflix should just stick to the documentaries.

I want whoever is responsible for greenlighting live-action Netflix films for the last few years to be convicted of war crimes

There's a scene where this MAGA/conservative senator is asking Jessica Alba's character for the right pronunciation of the term "Latinx" lol

 

[Infamous114]

She had more chemistry with her co-worker than the guy who was her ex-boyfriend

 

[GOAT]

Shes such a bad actress

But shes so fine

I thought she was rich as hell off her Baby company and quit acting

Weak Warning

The Last movie I saw Jessica Alba in was 2016's Mechanic: Resurrection so I was up for seeing her in an action movie with a story about A special forces commando returning home after her father's death and takes on a weapons trafficking gang.
Alba is good here and there in the film. I liked the opening of the movie as it displays how tough Alba's Parker is supposed to be.
There are some lines of dialogue that I enjoyed. I did enjoy watching a few of the action sequences. Some of the cinema photography was nice to take in
There are plenty of unintentionally laughable moments

PROBLEMS: There are some awkward racist moments and conversations when it comes to Parkers ethnicity. There are definitely some moments of ultra bad acting. Yes Parker is supposed to be a skilled soldier but not a stealth super hero. Characters don't make logical decisions or steps. What the bad guys are up to and why they commit murder doesn't hold up when I actually saw how casual they were about going about illegal measures. How a couple of things play out don't make sense. There are some unnecessary drops of information that just draws the movie out.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 4½
