After her Island is invaded by vicious buccaneers, a Caribbean woman’s secret past is revealed as she fights to protect her family.

Set in the 19th century Caribbean, the Frank E. Flowers-directed The Bluff stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Temuera Morrison and Karl Urban.

You wouldn’t be wrong to be surprised that I’m interested in watching this, especially given that I recently labelled The Death of Robin Hood (2026) as likely far too gruesome for me. And yes, this also has similar qualities. But it turns out my deep love of vengeance stories trumps any aversion I have to gratuitous movie violence. Case in point: you should have seen me at the end of season four, episode two of Game of Thrones (2011–2019). Schadenfreude times infinity, scientists might say.

Will this be the most satisfying revenge story I’ve ever seen? Unlikely. But I’m still hoping there’s some fun to be had along the way. Maybe a couple of great scenes.

How does this trailer have you feeling? Reminiscing about King Joffrey, and his not timely enough demise, perhaps?

Ismael Cruz Cordova, Safia Oakley-Green, Zack Morris, Gary Beadle, David Field, Greg Hatton, Sachin Joab, Pacharo Mzembe, Jordan Mooney and Ronnie James Hughes.

In the Catherine Hardwicke-directed crime/thriller Miss Bala, Gina Rodriguez is a beauty contest winner who ends up forced to work for a crime boss after she witnesses a murder.

Anthony Mackie, Matt Lauria and Ismael Cruz Cordova also star.

I want to find out how well Rodriguez does in the role. Fingers crossed that it’s all well-executed overall.
