SINNERS
A Film by Ryan Coogler
An OSG Interactive Movie Review
By JT Morris
Runtime
2h 17m (137 min)
“Sinners” is
cinematic tour-de-force with amazing acting performances from the cast, soulful
musical performances from the artists, brilliant plot pacing, gorgeous visuals,
a ton of subliminal cultural references and what seems like an endless amount
of blood and gore once the party gets started.
The joint definitely checked all
the boxes for me:
Period piece✓
Beautiful visuals✓
Dope music✓
Plenty of blood and gore✓
Imaginative and engaging storyline ✓
No Agenda pushing rhetoric that breaks immersion
✓
Intense action and suspense ✓
Amazing sets and wardrobe ✓
Top tier acting from an all-star cast✓
Ryan Coogler is four for four when
comes to creating beautiful cinematic experiences. His new Horror/ Suspense/
Survival Movie “Sinners” is a theatrical
masterpiece. Coogler puts his Directorial and Screenwriting Talents on full
display placing new twist on the horror movie genre. “Sinners” is not just a vampire movie and is a
must see for anyone who loves movies.
Newcomer Miles Caton steals the
show with his soulful vocals and powerful acting performance. IMBD lists this
as his first theatrical role. It is safe to say that this young man has an
amazing acting career ahead of him. I’m definitely looking forward to his next
outing. Li Jun Li’s performance kept me on edge of my seat and Hailee
Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo all clock in with wonderful performances
that makes you truly care about their characters reinforcing to viewers why
they make the big bucks. Michael B. Jordan clocks in an award worthy
performance playing twins Smoke and Stack and Blues legend Buddy Guy even makes
an appearance.
I can't remember the last time I
left a film feeling rejuvenated by a movie. The movie is able to get its point
across without doing a lot of obnoxious
virtue signaling. That's a rarity on today's cinematic landscape.
Music is the heart and soul of
this movie and the Soundtrack is
absolutely AMAZING! Swedish Composer Ludwig Göransson does his thing yet again
following up his Oscar Winning performance on the Oppenheimer Soundtrack. Hannah
Beachler works her Production Designer magic once again recreating Jim Crow Era
Clarksdale. The sets are extremely immersive, making you truly believe you are
back in 1930s Mississippi. Ruth E. Carter puts her Oscar Award Winning signature
stamp on the film's wardrobe and costume designs. You can tell that cast and
crew put their all into this one. This genre-bending film may be the win that
Warner Brothers so desperately needs.
True moviegoers and film lovers
are in for a real treat with the release of Sinners. The movie was released in
a slew cinematic formats! While released in traditional and digital formats, I
recommend treating yourself to IMAX or Ultra Panavision (If available in your
area). "Sinners" was shot in 65mm film, utilizing both Ultra
Panavision 70 and IMAX 70mm cameras, resulting in two distinct
aspect ratios: 2.76:1 for Ultra Panavision and 1.43:1 for IMAX. The film is
also projected in 70mm prints and D-Cinema (DCP). "Sinners"
is the first film to be shot in both Ultra Panavision 70 and IMAX 70mm formats.
The film also uses a 4K digital intermediate for master format.
“Sinners” is a must see and the
best theatrical release of 2025 so far. The
movie is a refreshing new take on the horror/ suspense genre. There is
definitely something for everyone to enjoy. As I look at the release schedule
for the rest of 2025, this may hands down be the best movie of 2025.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A MOVIE FOR DA
CHIL’REN! Leave the crumb snatchers at home. This one is for the grownups!
