Sinners (4K Ultra HD + Digital)

This is a real tour de force of story, characters, horror, and social messaging. All the cast are set up really well in a film that confidently and competently rolls out the exposition in a natural manner. When the horror part happens, it is also really well-paced, especially when it comes to the action, and has some appropriately eerie and eye-catching parts. I'm rather pleased that this takes a common supernatural threat (I'm not mentioning it if you haven't seen the second trailer yet), and looks at it from more of a "mysticism" lens.The movie does a wonderful job of weaving together messages and story. Since this is in the Jim Crow south, of course racism and the treatment of Afican Americans is a definite component, but it never feels like this is a movie focusing on trauma, but is about the people living their lives and a testament to black culture. When it comes to main messages in this, I'm not going to spoil anything as part of the joy of watching this is being made to think about what the movie is trying to say.Excellent casting all around in this. No surprise to anyone, but Michael B. Jordan gives a terrific performance. He does a great job of making each of the twins separate characters with separate personalities, storylines and wants for each. Musician and acting newcomer Miles Caton also gives a really solid performance as the Smokstack twins' cousin, musician Sammie Moore, a guy who loves his music and looks up to his more dangerous cousins. Caton gives a very real performance, and is sort of the core of the film.Jack O'Connell is also a lot of fun as the main villain Remmick. Director/writer Ryan Coogler (Black Panther/Creed/Fruitvale Station) could've gone with a one note monster with him, but he is surprisingly affable and three-dimensional (while also being an uncomfortable threat when the scary stuff happens), and his main goal may surprise you.Wonderful cinematography (including three REALLY well shot moments that steal the show). The movie is shot in a way I'd describe as "stark" color. Not darkly lit, but it has a harshness to it. Coogler and the cinematographer and editor do a solid job of having Jordan act opposite himself. The threats in this look appropriately off-putting.Music is a real focal point of the movie, and Sinners makes great use of songs and a stand-out score by Ludwig Goransson.The one thing about this film that may not work for some people is that the introduction is very long. It suitably sets up the people and place, but one could get bored.Highly recommended. This is one of those movies where everything works and really drags you in. This is one of those rare horror movies like The Menu or The Substance that transcends being merely just horror.

I don’t remember the last time I purchased a movie like physically owned a movie but I’ve seen Sinners 3x in theater and can’t wait to own this a movie to get my fix lol!!! A movie hasn’t captivated me like this in over a decade 10/10!!!!!!

Ryan and Zunzi Coogler, along with Michael B Jordan graced us with one of the most prolific & awe-inspiring creations of 2025! Even after viewing it in the theaters six times, that could never be enough! I deem this movie a 10/10 and an instant cult classic!

Such a good movie. Worth the theater price. Go in without watching any trailers and enjoy the ride.

Here we go again with the greed. 50 dollars is disgusting. Once again, we need to make these companies suffer and show them they can't take advantage of collectors like they think they can

ABSOLUTE favorite movie! This will be labeled movie of the year. I had to preorder! ✨✨✨

Great movie. I can wait to own it on DVD.

Loved the movie and how it tied into the culture! Had to buy asap. 10/10
