But what is new in this pirate film? That one element that differentiates it from other pirate films is the female figure.

Most of the pirate films or series have a male protagonist and antagonist. Often portrayed as a male-dominated field. The Bluff outruns all the notions, with the female lead Ercell as the center of the story. Once a sidekick to Captain Connor, he is now his rival. The one he relentlessly and restlessly hunted down to equate the scores.

The character Ercell is a ruthless pirate who brutally eliminates rivals before she chooses her quiet life. This is unlike the usual female characters that inculcate female traits, avoid hurting a soul, or are portrayed as weak opponents.

Ercell’s character balances the tenderness of motherhood with the ferocity of a seasoned warrior. Every battle she chooses to fight is rooted in determination to protect the people who matter most. Her resolve to confront her rival is driven by a deeper responsibility to safeguard her family, who represent her future.

While pirate epics have long been dominated by swaggering captains and fantasy-led lore, The Bluff shifts the compass. With a formidable female warrior steering the narrative, the film promises the story of resilience, redemption, and reinvention.
