Set 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...

It’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...

'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...

I 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...

Sinners 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...

Michael 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...

It's a vampire movie. They really hate White people. Sick of this proud to be racist crap.

Sinners (2025) – A Spiritual, Sonic, Soul-Shaking Masterpiece
There are films that claim to echo with heart, with history, with heritage—and then there is "Sinners," Ryan Coogler’s audacious, transcendent blend of Gothic folklore, musical soulcraft, and cultural reclamation. It doesn’t just echo. It sings. It howls. It bleeds. From its first...

Full 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...

ALERT: 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...

this movie is absolutely beautiful. i was hesitant to watch it because i don’t care for vampire stories, but this is way more than just a “vampire story.” it shows the beauty of black culture while also discussing the very real aspect of oppression, especially back in the jim crow era, where this movie takes place. the scary scenes were scary,...

It's a reboot of 'From Dusk til Dawn'.
But... From Dusk til Dawn is a much better movie!
As a period piece it's pretty good... but the storyline is a total snore-fest.

This was alright, decent vamp flick, but I don't really get the super high praise for this movie. I liked the lighting in the final scene. Ham on face.
