Bright (2017)

In an alternative modern reality, fantasy beings live amongst the humans, creating a favorable context for deep racism. A human police officer has to work with an orca partner to expose complicated corruption cases.

A police action movie with a rather original fantasy flavor. It comes from a veteran of police dramas (David Ayer - Harsh Times, End of Watch, Street Kings) who tries to link genres through well used human themes that have their own merits. The film received all kinds of slaps and, although it is imperfect and leaves much to be desired, it does not deserve the title of 'the worst film of 2017'. The tandem of the two heroes is fun, the story does not lack a credible and satisfying core and the resulted portion of entertainment is rich enough.

Director:  David Ayer      
With: Will Smith, Joel Edgerton, Noomi Rapace, Edgar Ramírez, Happy Anderson,  Jay Hernandez

Rating: 6/10
