Rather than reinvent the genre, the film leans into familiar tropes to deliver bursts of visceral action backed by a commanding central performance from Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Go to Full Review

The Bluff has rough edges, but it’s never workmanlike. Go to Full Review

The Bluff is a rollicking good time despite the fact (or maybe because of the fact) that the line between thrilling and ridiculous has never felt more razor thin than it does here. Go to Full Review

Priyanka Chopra Jonas does a great job of pulling this rather simplistic movie forward single-handedly. Go to Full Review

Any film that encourages me to revisit Cutthroat Island gives me pause, but the Bluff is a good idea never truly allowed to pillage its true potential. Go to Full Review

isually, The Bluff looks so typically Prime Video meets Russo Brothers; there’s almost no way you can watch it as something that might actually feel like it’s historical Go to Full Review

Shankar T @RT38985345 10h It was entertaining and Priyanka chopra did a good job. same old story See more Tony G @TonyGman 1d This movie was pretty much what I expected, only less. The timeline and weapon innacuracies paired with the mix and match dialog issues showed the writers did little to no research. As an action flick, it is almost ok if you ignore the lack of realism in fighting style and weapon capabilities. There were a few moments I liked but in the end, it had far less story and a weaker plot than Cutthroat Island. The actual Bluff battle was built up with not enough payoff. The ending was telegraphed from the beginning. See more Gregg P. @gpren 1d One of the better pirate movies out there. Karl Urban makes for one hell of a pirate!!!!! See more George R @RT92050242 1d Good action/revenge film. Set up is fairly simple -- Pirate and his crew land on an island looking for his lost gold and a feisty female killing machine standing in his way of getting it. Acting is excellent. Definitely keeps you engaged. Highly recommended. See more Max W @MaxthorWoo 1d Priyanka Chopra brings a charismatic spark as a semi-action heroine, while Karl Urban delivers a menacingly effective performance as the antagonist. However, The Bluff squanders the increasingly rare pirate genre, its plot is muddled, character arcs are underdeveloped, motivations lack conviction, and the overall narrative falls into the trap of being overly formulaic. See more chance C. @thechanceanator 2d Good if you just throw the last 20yrs out the window and turn off the good ol brain but watch it another way and it’s not good with the exception of the visuals See more Read all reviews
