What to Know

Critics Consensus

A brutally efficient yet emotionally hollow swashbuckler, The Bluff's blood-soaked action never quite makes up for it charmless sense of adventure.

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

While this tries desperately to channel A History of Violence and Pirates of the Caribbean – its chaotic storytelling and emphasis on style over substance means it reminded me more of Cutthroat Island and Ballistic: Ecks v Sever. Go to Full Review

Dj M @RT82739087 11h Gripping movie with some good action sequences. Priyanka Chopra really stood out with her charisma and action. Whoever was incharge for lighting should be sacked from the industry. That was embarassing work in the final cave sequence. See more Pulse Gamers T @Lightingblade28 6d Karl urban did a fantastic job. Great high intense action scenes. The plot not interesting lol See more Raktim B @Raktim Apr 30 Priyanka chopra has no charisma.This film lacks almost everything like a good story,action,drama,acting. Worst movie of Decade. See more Manigandan S @RT83015590 Apr 24 Definitely worth watching for its high intense action scenes and very good performance from DP. See more Meru B @ItsMeeeJessicaaa Apr 22 Certainly a fun watch. Were there plot holes? Yes. But this movie was high action and beautifully made and my eyes never left the screen. Bravo.
