Story Movie

1932. After many years away, twins Smok and Stack return to their hometown in the Mississippi Delta. They fought in the trenches of World War I and then became gangsters in Chicago. The brothers buy a piece of land with farm buildings from a white racist in order to open a music bar for plantation workers. The highlight of the opening is the preacher's son, to whom the twins once gave a guitar, and who plays the blues so well that he attracts the attention of an Irish vampire who happens to be nearby.

Review 4K Movie

If, like me, you were expecting Sinners to be a vampire horror film in the style of From Dusk Till Dawn, relax, because that's not what this film is about at all. And, unfortunately, the vampires are mostly just background characters.

Initially, in addition to the vampire theme itself, I was attracted to the film by its cast, or rather, its acting duo. One of my favorite contemporary actresses, Hailee Steinfeld, stars alongside the incredibly charismatic Michael B. Jordan. But here, too, I was disappointed, because Jordan's charisma was lost somewhere in the filming process, and here the actor does not resemble himself at all, while Steinfield's character is completely secondary. Hailee, of course, looks very juicy as a vampire, but the problem is that this image lasts only five minutes.

So what is the film about? It is a BLM story about the oppression of black people, cleverly disguised as a vampire horror film. Two-thirds of the film is endless conversational dreariness with completely incomprehensible and uninteresting characters, which has nothing to do with vampires, horror, or good cinema. If you want to watch something thematic, please, we have the same Django, the same Green Book, with the difference that these are quality products that are interesting to watch.

The dialogues here are incredibly boring, slow, but most importantly, they are completely meaningless. The viewer is revealed some details of the backstory of two brothers who have returned to their native land, but it is not entirely clear why they are doing all this. I repeat, the secondary characters, the brothers' immediate circle, do not possess any particular charisma or vivid personalities. Moreover, their interpersonal relationships do not develop in the course of the narrative; they are merely presented as a fait accompli based on some past of the brothers, which we again did not see with our own eyes. We are simply told that this character had such-and-such a relationship with so-and-so, and that this happened between them. But this narrative format does not work; the events of the past do not evoke any emotions because we do not see them, we only know about them from the words of other characters.

Oh yes, the film is also a musical, but that's purely a matter of taste. If you're into blues, jazz, and that sort of thing, then maybe you'll enjoy the musical numbers. But I didn't like these compositions at all, with their lack of steady rhythm and logical connection, so I give them a big minus.

The only thing I can praise is the visuals. Visually, the film is quite beautifully shot, it has a certain charm, a so-called atmosphere, but that's all.

What's the bottom line? Out of two hours of vampire action horror, I was shown maybe 15-20 minutes, at best. The musical accompaniment is very much a matter of taste. The characters are uninteresting, the narrative is boring, and the dialogues are monotonous and lifeless. I categorically do not understand why this film has been so hyped, because it is a completely dull, vague, and narratively incoherent creation.
