- Chris SawinSet in 1932 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Sinners takes place throughout one night in the middle of October. Sammie Moore (the
feature film debut of Miles Caton) is at a crossroads in his life. He is torn between being the son of a preacher and the
blues-driven nightlife where he gets to sing, play guitar, and feel alive. Sammie submerges himself in the blues seemingly having
little desire to return to his family’s religious roots. Sammie’s twin cousins Smoke and Stack (both played by Michael B. Jordan)
have just returned home after spending seven years in Chicago. With a mobster-like reputation, the twins... Show more> - Manuel São BentoFULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @

major studios can still produce artistic, provocative, and emotionally resonant movies. With Ryan Coogler's confident and
creatively daring direction, an unforgettable, award-worthy score, a strong ensemble cast, and a thematically rich exploration of
racial oppression, cultural identity, and spirituality, this is undoubtedly one of the most impactful films of th... Show more> - Brent MarchantIt’s always gratifying to see a filmmaker take a big step up in his or her career, and that’s precisely what writer-director Ryan
Coogler has done in his latest offering, a project that reflects a significant jump in the depth, artistry and sophistication of his
creative output. Coming on the heels of his successes in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” (2022), “Creed” (2015) and
“Fruitvale Station” (2013), Coogler has hit a home run with this period piece smart horror story about identical twin brothers (both
played by Michael B. Jordan) who return to their Mississippi home in 1932 after years of working for Al C... Show more> - r96sk'Sinners' is a fair load of fun. It admittedly didn't fully knock my socks off, but there isn't any doubt that it is a very
good film. It's stylish with impressive music and visuals, whilst all of the acting talent give good performances. It's paced astutely
too. Michael B. Jordan is as entertaining as he usually tends to be, I do like seeing him act. The dual role is done well here, the
'split screen' is solid but my brain sillily - no matter the movie or standard of how they portray the same actor twice - simply
cannot interpret the effect as seamless. Jack O'Connell stands out behind Jordan, particularly for the mo... Show more> - rssp55I don't think I liked it as much as most people seem to, and definitely not as much as the critics, but think this movie nailed about
85% of what it tried to. The setting, music, costumes, makeup, gore, and effects were exceedingly well done. The film is
well-acted (Delroy Lindo was the standout) and it was definitely worth seeing in the theatre. My only complaints are that the
ending felt rushed, there are a couple of oddly out of place surrealist sequences, and the villain was weak. It's a fairly long film
already, but I think it would have been better if we'd gotten to see another 10 minutes of the interaction b... Show more> - Xtram555moSinners started off similar to a gritty drama in the Deep South, every character felt so built and I was fully invested. Then the
vampire elements started twirling in. That first fade into the moon, the guitar riff, unbelievably hard Mr. Coogler. It gave a feeling I
haven’t felt since watching dune 2. Oh and the scene where we go through the history and future of music, best scene of the
decade maybe? That juke joint was heaven for clarksville that night, a place where people could finally let loose and forget about
all their work to enjoy powerful music, rooted in their ancestry. I ascended to heaven, and I’m not coming ... Show more> - CinemaSerfMichael B. Jordan is “Smoke” and twin brother “Stack” in this classy drama of a pair who’ve lived on the wrong side of the tracks
for most of their lives, but have determined to go home and try to go straight. To that end, they buy an old barn and hope to set
up their own speakeasy - with only a nominal nod to prohibition - pumping to the rafters with dancing and blues music. On the
way, they ally with talented musician “Sammie” (Miles Caton) and, of course, there’s a bit of baggage for the siblings as they
return to a town that’s not altogether welcoming. Once home, a mixture of confidence, threats and collect... Show more> - GenerationofSwineIt's a vampire movie. They really hate White people. Sick of this proud to be racist crap.
- Chandler DanierFull disclosure, I've been to Clarksdale and it is the best. This film is like Morgan Freeman's juke joint. I liked the compact,
intimate nature of Red's more. Middle of this is draggy. Parties aren't that fun to watch. There are a lot of quick and intense
action bits to wake up for but at the same time...it's long. Why do movies have to be so long? Why does the ending of this have
to be even longer? Why did survival have to be so impossible as to remove all stakes? Just a big, bloated juke joint of a film. But
still. Killing klan members and vampires is fun. Great action bits. Fun use of traditions. Likeable characters. - FelicityALERT: might be spoilers lurking here. Thankfully I didn't see any film trailers but I did glance over a few magazine covers to see
it was a movie about twins and vampires. What I didn't know was that it was also a period piece so that was a surprise. How the
vampires appeared was also a surprise. I thought one of the twins was already a vampire and had somehow hidden it from his
brother. I liked the Stephen King aspect of ordinary day turning to sh!t and good luck surviving. What was missed in all the
reviews I saw here: spiritual and cultural aspects that may have gone over folks' heads. Did anyone und... Show more>
