Sinners review: Michael B Jordan masters dual lead in five-star gangster yarn that mixes vampires and the delta blues
Briefly

In 'Sinners,' Michael B. Jordan shines in a dual role as gangster twins in 1930s Mississippi. The film initially focuses on personal and criminal challenges they face while pursuing a juke joint venture. The plot shifts dramatically with the unsettling arrival of Remmick, a menacing character that ushers in supernatural elements. While comparisons are drawn to 'From Dusk till Dawn,' 'Sinners' is deemed a stronger film due to its clever themes and engaging characters. The story introduces Sammie Moore, a gifted young blues singer, who plays a significant role in the twins' aspirations, creating an intriguing blend of crime, music, and horror.
Is this a vampire film? Yes and no. Coogler takes his time introducing slippery, supernatural fiends, balancing gritty historical backdrop with gripping gangster tales.
Sinners is a stronger film with cleverer themes than Rodriguez and Tarantino's From Dusk till Dawn, presenting a tidier narrative with more likable characters.
