Jessica Alba's first film in four years hasn't been very well received.
Alba took a hiatus from Hollywood in recent years, with her last film being 2019's Killers Anonymous.
She's largely been focusing her attention on her multimillion-dollar business The Honest Company of late, but is now officially back doing her thing in the acting industry.
Her newest movie Trigger Warning dropped on Netflix on June 21, where she plays Special Forces commando Parker.

It's synopsis reads: "A special forces commando returns to her hometown after her father's sudden death, only to run afoul of a violent gang when she starts asking questions."
In the wake of it dropping on Netflix in recent days the reviews have started to trickle in - and it's safe to say that they're not great.
At the time of writing, Trigger Warning boasts just 24 percent on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer, while it has an even less impressive 17 percent Audience Score.
Elsewhere IMDb has given it 4.6/10 while Netflix viewers have taken to social media to share their own thoughts.
"Trigger Warning, a new Netflix movie starring Jessica Alba must have one of the worst script writing in a while," one preson wrote on X. "Screen writers even forgot the time their own grand finale scene was set in and changed the time from night to day by accident."
A second said: "Watched the movie Trigger Warning on Netflix. It’s awful. There. Saved you two hours."
"I fell asleep watching this," another went on.
But others were less critical and said that they were pleased to see Alba back in action.
A fan wrote: "Trigger Warning on Netflix is [string of clapping emojis]. I always forget how good Jessica Alba can be and she’s also super sweet in person so I love that for her."
Another said of her great acting but the questionable movie plot: "Jessica Alba gave a 10/10 performance in Trigger Warning. But the actual story was a mess."
"Jessica Alba’s #TriggerWarning is great! Every single character feels so real, which makes what they’re fighting for even more visceral," raved another.
While Trigger Warning is yet to find its way in the Netflix top 10, Glen Powell's Hit Man has been sitting pretty in the top spot for two weeks now.
The film, which also stars 6 Underground's Adria Arjona, has gone down a storm with fans and has an impressive 96 percent average score on Rotten Tomatoes.
