Polarizing Polar: An Exploitation Film For the Modern Viewer

At her 20th birthday party, Uma constantly dreads the moment when the cake will be placed on the table and she will have to blow out the candles. Terrified of the responsibilities and blandness of adults, she wishes she could remain a child forever. So she and her friend Sunny decide to stop everything to relive what seemed lost to them...

Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.
The Bluff unravels its mystery slowly, opening on the capture of a ship captain named Bodden (Ismael Cruz Córdova) and the swift execution of his entire crew. Then, viewers are treated to a tranquil British settlement in the Cayman Islands in the 1850s, where a mother bakes a coconut birthday cake for her son in a house suspiciously rigged with makeshift tripwires and burglar alarms. As it turns out, that mother is Priyanka Chopra’s quick witted and resourceful ex-pirate Mrs. Ercell Bodden, and her husband’s captors are on the way to the island to hunt her down for abandoning them and stealing their loot. The pirates of the Libertas land on the beaches of Cayman Brac, and the scenes that follow show a Viking-esque slaughter of half the island.

After two months of refusing to see this movie, I have decided that it’s finally Morbin’ time. After its re-release as a box office bomb; I watched it just to laugh at it. But, I was also surprised, because 'Morbius' is a queer allegory.
