Manage episode 498799060 series 3045441
We review Ryan Coogler's vampire film "Sinners" starring Michael B. Jordan as twins, discussing how it attempts to blend social commentary with horror but struggles with pacing and storytelling issues.
• Michael B. Jordan plays twin brothers whose differences aren't distinct enough, creating confusion
• The film spends 75% of its runtime on character development before introducing vampires
• Beautiful cinematography and music are standout elements despite narrative problems
• Vampire rules like needing invitation to enter homes create some genuinely funny moments
• The film attempts to draw parallels between vampire stories and historical discrimination
• Final act delivers action but feels disconnected from the character-focused first two acts
• Mixed ratings from the hosts, ranging from 2 to 3.5 out of 5 stars
