The Bluff - A Pretty Entertaining Swashbuckler Action Movie

I was not aware that this movie was released on Wednesday in Prime Video till the following day when I was looking at new release on streaming platforms. Without hesitation, I immediately watched it last night as it was the kind of film that interest me. OK, let's just get on with it then.

Brief Story Line

Set in the 19th century where some pirates were still roaming the Carribbean sea, a merchant ship with its Captain T. H. Bodden (Ismael Cruz Cordova - The Pickup, Berlin Station TV series etc) were attacked by pirate ship led by notorious Captain Connor (Karl Urban - The Boys TV series, Star Trek: Beyond etc) along with Quartermaster Lee (Temuera Morrison - The Wrecking Crew, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom etc). Connor decided to find Bodden's home after finding something that he had been searching for years.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar's Revenge - 5th Installment of Our Favorite Pirate Jack Sparrow

So, another public holiday on a Thursday which translated to movie date with my wife. This was one of my anticipated movie for the summer period, as Pirates of the Caribbean series were also my favorite. It actually premiered in Indonesian cinemas yesterday but we believed it would be exciting to see it at noon in the nearest cinema from our home with the Dolby Atmos sound system, i.e. Epicentrum Mall. After trying new menus in a restaurant nearby the location, we went to the cinema and watch it at 1.15PM show. Well let us get on to the movie now.

Brief Story Line

Henry (Brenton Thwaites - Maleficent, Gods of Egypt etc) was a young man looking for ways to break curse of the sea. He read all the possible literature to help him achieve his mission. While working in a British war ship, he became caught up in the war with a pirate ship. After some incident, he was later found by the British army in an island. He was suspected of treason and was going to be punished by hanging. He claimed that the ship was attacked by army of the dead, led by captain Salazar (Javier Bardem - No Country for Old Men, Skyfall etc) which the Royal army did not believe.
