“The Boys,” an adventurous action film featuring Priyanka Chopra and Karl Urban, has been dominating the charts on Prime Video. In “The Bluff,” directed by Frank E. Flowers, Chopra portrays Ercell Bodden, a devoted mother who, unbeknownst to her children, was once the infamous pirate Bloody Mary. Her history resurfaces with the arrival of Captain Francisco Connor (Urban), who has unfinished business.
