Highly enjoyable It has been a while since there was decent pirate action on the big screen, and The Bluff brings it! It may not be the deepest of plots or the most nuanced of characters, but they are more than good enough to get the message across, relate to, cheer for, and build tension with. The action is solid, the casting excellent, and the visuals certainly good enough. This is a fun pirate-movie. Nothing more, but certainly nothing less.

Well, if you are looking for a film that is historically inaccurate and very boring - Look no further ! The historically inaccuracies are strong with this one (Mainly relating to weapons.) Although pirates, who were mainly active during 1650 to 1730 DID have access to a weapon that were called, "Grenadoes" (a precursor to hand grenades.) They most certainly DID NOT have guns with clips, much less revolvers. Revolvers were not invented until the 19th century... Having this film under the category of HISTORY is insulting. It is a fantasy film period. As far as female pirates go, YES there were female pirates, BUT, they typically dressed as Men, as so not to be undermined during command or something worse. And to make things clear, YES, there were Black pirates, they made up a majority of pirates during their golden age. The movie was boring, predictable and the lack of historical facts were disappointing. It is not something I would promote other than a fantasy movie.
