The trailer for Prime Video’s The Bluff dropped this week, and honestly? It’s giving “surprisingly feral pirate revenge movie” in the best possible way.
Starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas as a former pirate who absolutely did not leave her violent past behind peacefully, The Bluff centres on Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden — a woman who’s built a quiet family life, only for it to be blown up when her old captain (hello, Karl Urban) rolls back into town looking for blood.
And yes, there are swords. A lot of swords.
Priyanka Chopra plays Bloody Mary Bodden
Chopra Jonas stars as Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden, a retired pirate who’s settled into a peaceful family life on a remote island with her husband T.H. (Ismael Cruz Córdova) and young son Isaac (Vedanten Naidoo).
That calm shatters when her ruthless former captain Connor storms back, seeking brutal payback for past betrayals.
The trailer showcases Chopra in peak action-hero form — bruised, sweaty, and wielding swords with ferocious precision as she fights to protect her child.
Karl Urban delivers menacing pirate captain
Karl Urban steals every frame as Connor, the sadistic buccaneer leader with a personal grudge against Bloody Mary. He’s loud, unhinged, and perfectly cast as the kind of villain who thrives on destruction — think his iconic bad-guy energy from The Boys dialled up to 11.
Temuera Morrison joins as quartermaster Lee, adding extra menace to the pirate crew terrorising the island.
The Bluff stands out from streaming pack
Look, we’re not calling it an Oscar play — but it doesn’t need to be.
The Bluff looks like one of those chaotic, unexpectedly watchable streaming movies that turns into a group chat obsession for 48 hours straight. There are swords, traps, tropical chaos and a woman with nothing left to lose. Sometimes that’s enough.
Filmed at Village Roadshow Studios in Australia with Cayman Brac standing in for the Caribbean setting, the film blends heart-pounding fight choreography with genuine emotional stakes.
The Russo brothers’ involvement elevates production values, while composer Henry Jackman’s score amps up the tension. Critics are already calling out its R-rated grit, making it a cut above standard streaming action flicks.
When and where can you watch The Bluff?
The Bluff lands on Prime Video on February 25, 2026, and if you’re in the mood for something loud, chaotic, and slightly unhinged — this one’s probably worth pressing play on.
Pirates. Revenge. A mum with nothing to lose.
Say less.
