Set in an alternate reality where elves, orcs, and humans co-exist in the modern world, Bright follows two police officers, Daryl Ward (Will Smith) and Nick Jakoby (Joel Edgerton) as they try to overcome their differences as a human and an orc while stumbling upon news that evil creatures are trying to resurrect an ancient dark lord.
Bright is a decent buddy cop movie, but its social commentary and subtext isn’t always the most subtle, which may have taken some viewers out of the film.
