Despite enjoying the movie, I have to give it less than 5/10 because of the atrocious writing. WHAT THE ACTUAL !@#$ DID I JUST WATCH? ARE YOU TRYING TO ROT MY BRAIN?! **SPOILERS AHEAD:** WHY THE FLYING !@#$ DO NONE OF THE PIRATE HENCHMEN KNOW WHO THEY'RE AFTER? WHY THE FLYING !@#$ DID CAP'N URBAN NOT TELL QUARTERMASTER MORRISON WHAT HIS PLAN WAS?! I'm done. This was too much stupid. The problem ain't that it's predictable, it's that the characters are all stupid. Monsieur Karl, please just save Mortal Kombat from the literal plot armor garbage that was the first movie.

I recently watched **The Bluff (2026)** on Prime Video, and here is my honest take. If you are going into this expecting a groundbreaking story, you might be disappointed. Right from the trailer, the plot felt quite predictable, and unfortunately, the movie follows that same path without many surprises. However, where this movie truly shines is the **Action**. If you are a fan of brutal, gore-filled, and gritty combat, then this is definitely worth a watch. The visuals are top-notch and the cinematography adds a great atmosphere to the overall experience. There is a twist regarding the name **"Maryam"** and the **"Bloody Mary"** connection, but honestly, it didn’t feel impactful enough to save the weak storytelling. It’s a decent one-time watch mainly for the technical execution and the stunts. I’d recommend it purely for the action, but don’t expect it to stay with you for long. A solid 6 out of 10 for the carnage!
