Smith plays the human cop Ward while Edgerton plays the orc cop Jakoby, described as “the Jackie Robinson of orcs.”
Will Smith used to be the king of the blockbuster, but in recent years his reputation as a sure-thing has taken a hit.
The movie stars Will Smith as a hard-nosed cop in a topsy-turvy Los Angeles where human beings walk side-by-side with orcs, elves and other creatures normally not glimpsed outside the pages of a fantasy novel.
Bright re-teams Will Smith with Suicide Squad director David Ayer, a guy who happens to also know his way around a gritty cop narrative, as his film End of Watch proves.
