THE BLUFF MOVIE REVIEW
Avast, ye scurvy-ridden dogs! It’s a rare entry into the swords and sails action-adventure genre! Lewayne and T.C. set sail on the One Of Us schooner to chart whether this new, bloody, swashbuckling Amazon original sinks beneath the waves or turns out to be a treasure. Set on a secluded island in the treacherous waters of the Caribbean, Ercell (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), is a woman trying to outrun her past and protect the family she’s built on dry land, until a crew of ruthless cutthroats led by Karl Urban’s charming and brutal Captain Francisco Connor comes hunting for a long-lost score tied to Ercell’s old life. With the speed and brutal killing skills of a woman who’s spilled more than her share of blood, she is forced back into the life she thought she’d left behind. What follows is a whole lotta slick and messy Rated-R violence and high-seas intrigue that asks “What if John Wick, but a period piece and a lady pirate?”
DIRECTED BY: Frank E. Flowers
STARRING: Priyanka Chopra, Karl Urban, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, Vedanten Naidoo, Temuera Morrison, David Field, Greg Hatton, Pacharo Mzembe, Gideon Mzembe, Zack Morris, Gary Beadle

Lewayne White (Screener Squad)
Lewayne’s earliest memories are of watching movies and reading comics, which instilled in him a sense of wonder, a vivid imagination, and unrealistic expectations. It also means he spends a lot of time watching movies, writing scripts for them, and trying to get them made. He lives in the middle of middle America after landing there as a child, and has remained there mainly because he hates packing.
