Ryan Coogler & Michael B. Jordan vampire film "Sinners"

[Barlow]

Probably gonna see it for a third time this weekend

 

[Rollie Forbes]

 

[NinoBrown]

Set in the 80s, A low level hustler rises to the top of the drug trade to become a ruthless drug lord who ultimately meets his demise after using and turning on those around him.

Is this Scarface or new jack city

This is bigger than Nino Brown, this is big business, it's the American Way!

now imaging Double Toasted which is hosted by TWO BLACK MEN bringing up the obvious rip off of FDTD in the first minute of their Sinners review

Spoiler

They actually say the movie is not a black from Dusk Till Dawn, but far more than that. They compare and contrast, which is what film critics do, especially when talking about genre films.

5:57

Just left the theater from watching it. It was good.

What’s funny is I actually worked at the Shelby Asian grocery store in high school in MS lol

 

[Bryan Danielson]

lol Why are people shocked about this? or did people thing Asians setting up shop in black communities is a fairly recent thing?

not surprised….. only people from the Nawth and outchea West large surprised

 

[Scaaar]

About to go see it for a second time tonight

 

[RamsayBolton]

These dudes really puts one of the best scenes behind credits
thousands of people gonna miss it. Coogler needs to drop that marvel habit

 

[RamsayBolton]

This is really good, but I'm also little frustrated because I can see the potential it had in the 2nd half, but I don't think Coogler quite reached it.

First half was amazing. Second half got a little shaky there for sure. Mid-credits scene bumped it back up a bit for me.

vampires were basic and kind of inconsistent in their motivations and also just acted kinda weird in general. some breh earlier said it best - I can see what Coogler was going for. And for some people that can be enough, but for me I wanted to see him follow through

 

[BlackMajik]

I'm gonna go ahead and say it. If u give this film a mediocre or negative review u are really just an ignorant muthafukka

Becuz just based on Technical film-making aspects this is a Cinematic Marvel. U need to be educated on filming techniques, sound design, etc

This was just phenomenal

 

[Bruce LeRoy]

Naw just accept that Ryan stole the plot of FDTD for Sinners and we can keep it moving

From Dusk Til Dawn "stole" from Assault on Precinct 13.

 

[ItWasMeThough]

I miss the mid and end credits, trying to catch the regional rail. Let a sis know what happened. Also bout to see it again at 6

phenomenal film. masterful. still floored from everything i saw. there wasn't a moment that my eyes weren't glued to the screen.

i know some people have said, the scene on the morning after, mowing the klan down wasn't needed or it was too jarring of a turn. but i beg to differ. i think it was needed. and coogler brilliantly spoke to another layer....as black folks here we are barely surviving a literal monstrosity (figuratively in the film also) and not a moments notice we are facing ANOTHER battle. no time to breathe. no time to rest. it's a constant fight. we survived the middle passage. survived slavery. then we were freed, then sharecropping, segregation, the rise of the klan, then reconstruction, then jim crow, then sundown towns, riots, then redlining, then the crack epidemic...police brutality and on and on. it's never a time to rest or process. my man couldn't even have his moment to fully cherish with his child. i think that scene was perfectly executed.

In terms of black themed/directed movies last 12-18 months have been pretty goodl. American fiction, hard truths, nickel boys, now sinners.

Exactly!

It was needed. Especially after it’s explained that the juke joint was a slaughterhouse and the klan always had plans to kill the brother or whoever was at the club the following day.
