Description: Trying to leave their troubles lives behind, twin brothers
(Michael B. Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover
that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
Review: In 1932, the immaculately dressed twin brothers Smoke and Stack, both
portrayed by a fantastic Michael B. Jordan, return from Chicago to their home
in Mississippi, where they hope to turn an old sawmill into a juke joint. A
place where people can have a few drinks and listen to good live music. Their cousin
Sammie is an aspiring musician, so they bring him along. Together with Delta
Slims, who plays his music at the train station.
This town is not an easy
place to live, since its earth is still blood-soaked from the atrocities of the
Ku Klux Klan. But music is everywhere, blues is everywhere. The twins manage to
open their juke joint and their opening evening already seems very successful.
But after about an hour, when the party in the juke joint reaches its climax,
the film suddenly breaks loose. And I won’t spoil much for you, but all hell
breaks loose. There is a comparison to a Robert Rodriguez movie that I can
definitely see, but “Sinners is much more powerful and grandiose, and the
horror cuts much deeper than you think.
“Sinners” is without a doubt
one of the best films that 2025 has brought us so far. All praise for director
Ryan Coogler!
Rating: 4,5/ 5
