Summary

Period horror thriller starring Michael B Jordan. In 1932 Mississippi, enterprising twin brothers Elijah and Elias, aka "Smoke" and "Stack", prepare to set up a juke joint to serve their town's black community. But there's a nasty presence hanging around town on opening night, just waiting for the sun to go down.

Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Sean McGeady

Director Ryan Coogler's fifth feature is a messy, muscular mash-up of historical drama and trigger-happy horror. It follows bootlegging brothers Smoke and Stack (both played by Michael B Jordan), who return home to Mississippi after years working for Al Capone. With plans to set up the Delta's greatest juke joint, they recruit their young cousin Sammie (Miles Caton), a promising bluesman whose preacher father warns against playing the devil's music. But Sammie can't resist, and it's his artistry that becomes the catalyst for the horrors that follow. Soon, silver-tongued vampire Remmick (Jack O'Connell) wants an invitation to the party, too. Coming after Coogler's stint directing two Black Panther films for Marvel, Sinners asks prickly questions about creativity and the price of assimilation. What parts of your culture might you be willing to give up in the name of "fellowship and love"? And what good is harmony if you can't play your own music? The film's grandstanding centrepiece truncates a centuries-long timeline of cultural expression into one literally barn-burning anachronistic musical number. It's the most ambitious moment in a movie loaded with them.
