[Movie] SINNERS 2025

My colleague recommended this movie and I decided to watch it yesterday after work. I’ve always known Michel B Jordan to act in great movies and this movie was no exception, I would even say it surpassed my expectations because to be honest I already had some high expectations. One thing I like about Michel B Jordan is that a lot of his movies I have watched are mainly old school and like those ones this one is also old school.

The movie followed the 1932 story of twin brothers smoke and stack who left their criminal like behind, went back to their home town to start a club. Take note that this happened in a time of racial segregation, and Smoke and stack were two black dudes in a white world. To start their club they hired their cousin who happened to be a talented guitarist but the only issue was that the father of this cousin was a pastor who believed that Blues was the devil's music. In the process of reopening their club and hiring staff they reunited with their past loves but this was where the movie became interesting.

When their cousin Sammie begins to perform for the night club, his music became so good that it awakened something in a vampire looking to reconcile with his ancestors. And you know whenever you hear of a vampire the next thing is death. Even though the brothers refused to invite the vampires in, they manipulated their way into the club, killed a lot of people and even transformed some into vampires. In the process of this chaos even stack eventually became a vampire after he was turned by his lover which by the way sent his twin brother Smoke into a rage.

But then even as a Vampire Stack would not sit by and watch other vampires kill his twin and cousin and thus fights with them against the vampires and eventually won, However that wasn’t the end of it all as their winning was short lived after a group named Ku Klux Klan came for them and eventually killed Smoke. But that was not even how the story ended because at the end of the day the Stacks legacy lived on… I would have said what happened in the end but I think it would only spoil the fun, better to watch it yourself. There were really great twist and one good vampire story.

Rating 95/100
