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.

The Bluff has rough edges, but it’s never workmanlike.

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.

A film that wants to play within the same period as the initial Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy but apart from a couple decent action beats is very small scale from the plotting to the characters to the locations.

The choreographed, gory battles in this film will appeal to some viewers, as will the novelty of a fierce female pirate captain played by the popular Chopra Jonas, but it won't be for everyone.

C-

The Bluff will give audiences a nostalgic feeling of older movies focusing on pirates. Unfortunately, the feeling fades away when they realize that decent action sequences and bad dialogue aren’t enough to push this boat to shore.

Wow, what a shadow of a pirate movie. Karl Urban must really need money to participate in this poorly executed and written piece of crap. They covered every movie trope form every bad movie that includes pirates. Long John Silver mid perfectly safe. What a shell of a movie. Someone paid for this incredibly bad performance from most if not all of the cast. Did anyone edit this mess? Obviously the Producers don’t care about quality or production value. The scenes were filmed in a wonderful sites. The water and beach scenes were enjoyable, minus the poorly executed script. I have to say after some anticipation this was a waste of time. No excuse for this lack of quality film, even on NETFLIX. Their production quality is failing.

It's not the best but it is an entertaining film that does put a female character as a strong lead. You do end up pulling for her and her family.

I gave it try and regret to my bones. It´s a bloddier + shittier wrap of something that tries to resemble Pirates of the Caribbean starred by a deathproof Rambo like female heroine.
