In this episode of The Silly Nerdy & Wordy Podcast, I break down the Prime Video action film The Bluff starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Karl Urban.

Set in 1864, the film follows a former pirate trying to protect her family when her past returns to haunt her. In this Nerdy Review, we dive into the filmmaking behind the story — from the intense opening action sequence and stunt work to the music score by Henry Jackman, the cinematography of the final bluff battle, and the practical props and weapons used for the 1860s setting.

I also discuss the behind-the-scenes filmmaking roles that helped shape the film including editing, props, special effects, and a surprising Marvel / MCU connection involving the Russo Brothers, Sarah Halley Finn, and Zoe Saldaña.

If you enjoy film breakdowns, behind-the-scenes filmmaking analysis, and movie reviews from streaming, theaters, Blu-ray, and Broadway, you’re in the right place.
