The 35-year-old actress said she makes films to entertain her fans and not for critics, reported Female First.
"My latest film ('Mechanic: Resurrection') is a popcorn movie. I don't think I've ever had a good review, and you know what? I don't really care. If people walk away smiling and enjoying themselves after watching something I'm in, that's all I care about.
"I'm not in control of the edit or the writing or the promotion. No one sets out to make a bad movie, we all want it to be good. But it's a complicated thing to do and it's a miracle when it all comes together," Alba said.
"I've only ever been attracted to characters who have that strength and toughness. That's why I wanted to play Gina.
