Jessica Alba knows a thing or two about acting. The Dark Angel and Sin City star is no stranger to the screen, but in his new film Fight Back (which he also produced), he’s getting more than he could have hoped for.

“I haven’t really done hand-to-hand combat and intense action in so longJessica Alba tells Tudum. And he’s not talking about random intense action. The actor was determined to make Parker, Fight Back’s main character, more than just a weapons expert.
A feminine John Wick?
Working with director Mouli Suriya and the film’s stunt team, Alba incorporated Indonesian knife fights into the film’s fight choreography, creating sequences that required quick thinking and movement. “For me, I really wanted it to be a more intimate combat experience if I needed to incapacitate someone.”
These skills come in handy when Parker, a member of a special forces commando, returns to his hometown and discovers a dark conspiracy that may be connected to the mysterious death of his father. This is a true return to the cameras for Jessica Alba, who has been away from the set since the end of her previous series Los Angeles: Bad Girls.
What does a trigger warning refer to?
Special Forces commando Parker (Jessica Alba) is on a mission overseas when she receives a call from her hometown to learn of her father’s sudden death. Now the owner of the family bar and trying to find out what really happened to his father, Parker reconnects with his former sheriff, Jesse (Mark Webber), his angry brother Elvis (Jake Weir), and their powerful father, Senator Swann. (Anthony Michael Hall).
Parker’s investigation soon becomes tangled, and he soon finds himself at odds with a violent gang that plagues his hometown. Not knowing who to trust, he uses his commando training to honor the truth and try to right what has gone wrong in Swan County, supported by Spider-Man (Ton Bell), his black ops partner and hacker, and Mike (Night Agent’s Gabriel Basso). Local drug dealer with complete address book.
