#PriyankaChopra  Is A  Force  Of Nature  In #TheBluff Rating: *** ½ Priyanka Chopra Jonas is  to  The  Bluff  on Amazon  Prime, what Uma Thurman was  to Quentin Tarantino’s  Kill  Bill Part 1: a blood soaked  wife on a  revenge spree.  The  trick here is to  ensure that  the Shero’s presence is formidable truculent scorching and sexy.  Our Desi Girl  scores on all four  counts. She is a ferociously  protective  mother fighting off buccaneers on an island in the 1800s.  Admittedly, there is nothing particularly  periodic about Priyanka’s presence. Her body language  is  timeless, and not in the classic sense. While she is  not particularly convincing as a 19th century woman, she is absolutely dynamite  as a vengeful vixen, negotiating her  way through a  maze of masculine  mayhem on a  breathtaking beautiful unspoilt sunkissed  island invaded by plunderers who look like they  could do with a  collective bath.   In a manner, the  fetching island could be seen  as metaphor for the lead actress. Priyanka  personifies the  plunder pitch(and hell, life for a beautiful  woman can be such a bitch). However I seriously doubt screenwriters of this ‘Wacky Chan’  wunderblitz  were seeking any metaphoric relevances in the islander’s version of   a shootout Western.  This is  the kind of slip-in-slip-out fare,  bereft of  heft, where the  Shero is  named Mary so that there can be ‘Bloody Mary’ allusions  to her sanguinary state.   The Bluff is  indeed  a far more watchable  and  far less de-intellectualized  fare than  Priyanka’s  last  feature film Heads  Of State which  was so knuckle-headed  it felt like  a spoof(which  it wasn’t). There  is subtle sense  of spoofinness supplemented by a tongue-in-cheek spiffiness  to the  storytelling in  The Bluff, a title that  almost seems like  an admission of a ravishing ruse, a bloodsoaked cruise, if you  will.This is an embarrassingly straightforward   vendetta flick with  sustained splendidly shot  action sequences where Priyanka’s Mary   fights back when pushed  to a corner.    Her frowning adversary , her near-nemesis,Conner is played by Karl Urban, a fascinating  partly  intimidating Madhavan lookalike who gives his enticing opponent  as  good  as he gets. There is  a hasty history attached to Mary(Bloody or  not)’s tempestuous  tangle with Conner. And though she is a fiercely dedicated  vengeful spouse, Mary doesn’t hesitate  in  admitting to  her husband(Ismael Cruz Córdova) that there was  bit of hanky-panky between Conner and  she in the past.   All of these, shall we say, piracy prattle is  played  out by Priyanka Chopra with fetching selfassurance. She consistently puts her best foot, and profile, forward. Greg Baldi’s  lensing does as much justice  to Priyanka as  it does to the scenic Australian landscape,a  stirring  mix of  mystery  and menace, that  sadly  doesn’t quite  touch  the characters.  However  The  Bluff is huge fun while it lasts. The  best  thing to be  said about Frank E Flowers’ direction is that he  knows what he is  doing. He is  not in this to win an Oscar.Just to create  a fun  movie with  a lead actress who is game.
