Trigger Warning isn't enough to save Jessica Alba from an increasingly damning Rotten Tomatoes streak. The latest Netflix thriller stars Alba as a Special Forces operator struggling against brutal gang warfare after taking over her late father's bar. Released on June 21, Trigger Warning's extensive cast is filled with respectable actors, including Alba, Anthony Michael Hall, Mark Webber, and Jake Weary. Unfortunately, it does not appear to have thrilled critics.
While Alba undoubtedly hoped for positive results, her latest movie is another critical disaster. It is Alba's eighth movie in a row that failed to earn a positive Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes. With a 25% Tomatometer score and a 20% audience score, it has earned a definitive Rotten designation and is unlikely to recover. It also fails to break Alba's decade-long Rotten streak, as she has not had a positive rating since 2014's Stretch.
Jessica Alba's Rotten Tomatoes Streak Is Horrible
Critics And Audiences Agree About Alba's Recent Movies Failing To Satisfy
Jessica Alba's Rotten Tomatoes streak is a rare negative mark that critics and audiences can agree on. While many streaks often feature occasional positive audience scores and dismal Tomatometer scores, Jessica Alba's career trajectory is generally frowned upon. She has not had a score above 45% in either category since 2014's Stretch. Her lowest scores both came in 2019, with Killers Anonymous' 0% Tomatometer score and 16% audience score, whereas the highest during that streak was El Camino Christmas' 40% Tomatometer score and Dear Eleanor's 44% audience score. Check out her past decade of RT scores below:
Title | RT Critics Score | RT Audience Score |
|---|---|---|
Trigger Warning (2024) | 25% | 19% |
Killers Anonymous (2019) | 0% | 16% |
El Camino Christmas (2017) | 40% | 40% |
Mechanic: Resurrection (2016) | 31% | 40% |
Dear Eleanor (2016) | Not Rated | 44% |
The Veil (2016) | Not Rated | 23% |
Barely Lethal (2015) | 26% | 38% |
Some Kind of Beautiful (2014) | 6% | 30% |
Stretch (2014) | 88% | 63% |
Alba's streak does not tell the entire story, however. Jessica Alba spoke about Trigger Warning's revolutionary narrative, but it failed to recontextualize her work. While Stretch provided a rare bright spot in a poor period of Alba's career, there was another negative streak that Stretch snapped. Since 2005's Sin City, Alba has had only two movies with a positive Tomatometer or audience score. 2010's Machete had a 70% score among critics and 63% among audiences. Machete snapped an 11-movie negative streak, before Stretch had to break a seven-movie streak.

Trigger Warning Review: I Wanted More From Netflix's Weak Jessica Alba Actioner Beyond Stereotypes
Corruption is the core of this story, yet there is not much done with it beyond saying these people are immoral, and Alba's Parker will mess them up.
Stretch, Sin City, and Machete remain Alba's only positively-reviewed movies among critics. Audiences generally liked a few more, as Honey, Never Been Kissed, and The Sleeping Dictionary each have above 65% scores. Alba has appeared in 35 movies, however, making even those six positive ratings a rare occurrence in an increasingly negative filmography. While Alba earned renown for her role in Fantastic Four, her lack of involvement in the Fantastic Four reboot may be a positive note for the Marvel franchise, given that unfortunate streak. Trigger Warning just couldn't stop Jessica Alba's ongoing decline.

Fans Alarmed by Jessica Alba's Stunning New Instagram Photo
With a growing number of Hollywood stars drawing attention for increasingly slim appearances, Jessica Alba has become the latest celebrity to spark discussion online over her physique.
Alba recently shared an Instagram photo dump highlighting some of her August moments so far. The first photo showed the actress posing for a selfie in a tiger-stripe bikini, putting her slender frame on display. She accessorized the look with gold jewelry and sunglasses.
The rest of the carousel featured snapshots of the Honest founder golfing with her youngest son, spending time with her daughters, relaxing in the sun, enjoying campfires with friends and sharing moments with her boyfriend, Danny Ramirez.
Jessica Alba Fans Point Out Her Recent Weight Loss
However, many fans focused on the first bikini photo and expressed concern about Alba's appearance, with some speculating about weight-loss drugs despite there being no confirmation that she has used them.
"Another one lost to Ozempic," one person wrote.
Another said, "Not another Ozempic girl, she was so fine."
"Jessica, we love you but don't turn into Ariana Grande," another commenter wrote, referencing the singer's own recent appearance and the speculation surrounding her weight.
Another fan simply wrote, "I hope all is well," while someone else commented, "Not looking healthy at all. So sad."
Others pushed back against the criticism, arguing that Alba's body should not be subject to public scrutiny.
"People shaming her for the way she looks need their head examined. It's none of your business and it's also the reason women are so self-conscious of their bodies. Mind your business and your manners," one person wrote.
Hollywood Stars Face Health & Weight Loss Concerns
The online conversation surrounding the mom of three comes amid a broader trend of celebrities being scrutinized over their changing appearances. Stars including Charlize Theron, Anna Faris, Ariana Grande and Jenna Ortega have all faced public speculation about weight loss, health or the use of medications such as Ozempic.
While dramatic transformations among celebrities have long attracted attention, recent conversations have increasingly centered on stars who were already petite and now appear noticeably slimmer.
However, without confirmation from the individuals themselves, speculation about the reasons behind someone's weight or appearance remains just that—speculation.
