Bright

Bright (2017 December 22)

Netflix Original Movie
Availability: Global

Plot:
In this supernatural cop thriller where orcs and elves co-exist with humans, two LAPD cops Daryl Ward and orc Nick Jacoby are forced to work together to retrieve a powerful weapon.

A sequel has been confirmed, Will Smith, Joel Edgerton, and director David Ayer will return.

Review:
Rating: [Watch it] / It depends / Skip it
  • Bright is what I expected from a big budget Netflix movie. At its core this is an odd couple cop pairing. The supernatural twist provides plenty of intrigue even if the world building is hit or miss. Orcs and elves save what would have been an ordinary and boring cop movie. The attempt to use orcs as a discriminated race or species falls flat as the movie primarily depicts them as stereotypical minorities which is bewildering. It's a great idea with rough execution, but it isn't boring.
Read my review.
