Bright (2017)

Take a cop buddy movie and drop into a modern world descended from a Tolkienest world where the Dark Lord was defeated two thousand years ago and you get Bright. Will Smith and his orc partner find a magic wand and things go south. Corrupt cops want it. Gangbangers want it. The original elf owner wants it, and two honest street cops have it. My understanding is this project went to Netflix because the director, Davis Ayers, didn't want studio interference or to tone the hard R down for theatrical release. I'm happy it made it to Netflix. It's a damn good action flick.
