‘Sinners’ Review: Ryan Coogler And Two Michael B. Jordans Reteam For A Blues-Filled Vampire Movie Like No Other


A review of ' Sinners' with director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan reteaming in a movie that is half Gangster/Half Vampire wrapped in Blues

Although it starts with a disturbing scene where a young man in duress enters his preacher father’s church service in rural Clarksville, Mississippi, the story quickly switchs to 24 hours earlier and the beginning of life altering events all taking place in a single day. The film’s first hour or so focuses on all these characters and more in a conventional style of this genre, but Coogler has much more in store ( much more) when Remmick (Jack O’Connell- terrific), a white man fronting an Irish folk trio, comes knocking on the door of Club Juke wanting to get in with his friends but is turned away, even after trying to show they are in the musical spirit of things by an instant performance of “The Rocky Road To Dublin”. Sinners marks another strong reason why Ryan Coogler is at the top of his generation of filmmakers, and Jordan continues to show why he is a real deal movie star.
