5 Movies similar to Trigger Warning
1) John Wick
The Keanu Reeves-starring series kicked off in 2013 with its first iteration, which brought viewers a world filled with action and an angry John Wick with a lot of capacity for violence. The series has to date seen the release of four movies, and it is now set to spiral into a cinematic universe, available on Amazon Prime.
The original series is set to spawn multiple spinoffs, including Ballerina and The Continental. Featuring a plethora of utterly memorable characters and iconic action sequences, John Wick is a must-watch for all kinds of movie enthusiasts!
2) Road House
Another title available on Amazon Prime, 2024’s Road House, may not have made the kind of impact it was expected to. While it made only $85 million at the box office, the movie’s action sequences and unique cast make it a must-watch for action enthusiasts.
Like Trigger Warning, the movie features a former fighter returning to his past career to protect a roadhouse in the Florida Keys. The movie features the likes of Conor McGregor, Daniela Melchior, and Billy Magnussen in important roles and makes for an entertaining watch.

The Man from Nowhere, directed by South Korean filmmaker Lee Jeong-Beom, was released in 2010 and is available on multiple platforms, including Netflix. The movie stars a pawnshop owner who is friends with a young girl named So-mi, who lives in the same neighborhood.
When So-mi is kidnapped by gangsters, Cha Tae-sik, played by Won Bin, embarks on a dangerous mission to save her. He is drawn into his former world of crime, with the narrative itself featuring similarities with Trigger Warning.
The Man From Nowhere was also praised for its action sequences and emotional depth, which makes it an ideal watch for fans of the Jessica Alba starrer.
4) Homefront
Currently only available for rent on Amazon Prime, Homefront was released in 2013 and is based on Chuck Logan’s bestselling novel of the same name. It features a former DEA agent who moves to a small town with his daughter and stars action legend Sylvester Stallone as the protagonist.
The movie sees him clash with local drug lords as he attempts to save his new city from their influence. Featuring a stellar cast, which also includes James Franci, Winona Ryder, and Kate Bosworth, Homefront is another ideal watch for Trigger Warning fans.

A Tom Cruise starrer, Jack Reacher is also based on a novel, Lee Child’s One Shot. The character was also seen in the release of a TV series last year. The film sees Jack Reacher being involved in a murder case involving a former colleague, a US Army sniper.
The movie had its fair share of criticism concerning how Tom Cruise's portrayal was not similar to the Reacher shown in the books.
