Sinners

First half of the movie was very good. Great character set up. Second half of the movie the plot progressed very quickly with nothing particularly interesting happening. Not much of a story line involved and movie ended abruptly. The acting was great, Michael B Jordan did a wonderful job playing smock and stack and some of the supporting characters were great as well. The movie was filmed perfectly. Music was obviously great as well. Plot and storyline did not move the needle for me. Post credit scene was cool!

I saw the ratings for this film and I watched really looking forward to watching it. Even the people who work the counters in the cinema assured us of how good it was.

The first half of the film have the makings of an 8/10 film, and it seems like it's going to go that way, especially with such a good cast. But as with most films these days, it takes a turn and gets quite daft in the second half. Somewhat like Dusk til Dawn, but not half as good...But that's just my opinion.

Go watch it, but at least give it an honest review. It's not an 8/10 movie as iMDB has it scored. I scored it a 6, which I think is fair.

First of all: this is not a horrible movie, but it sure as hell isn't what the ratings make it out to be. It's sort of like From Dusk Till Dawn, but then with a predictable and not so good second half. And, as is the problem with a lot of movies these days: it's about an hour too long.

I really liked the first half. Up until the scene wherein Sammy makes music at the Juke Joint, which seems wildly out of place to me. It wasn't funny, smart and totally unnecessary in my opinion. Everything after that was cliche, full of the standard horror tropes and just not that good in my opinion. The acting is pretty good, the imagery is beautiful, but all in all it really falls short as a horror movie and overstays its welcome by a long shot.

I honestly don't get the hype around Sinners (2025)-it feels like an overrated film. The visuals are stunning from start to finish, and the soundtrack is well done, even if not every song appealed to me personally. Jack O'Connell delivers a solid performance and is definitely the highlight of the movie.

That said, the pacing is a major issue. The film starts strong, but halfway through, it loses direction-I often found myself questioning the relevance of certain scenes. The twists aren't impressive either; most of the plot is predictable, and you can pretty much figure out what's going to happen just by watching the trailer.

Overall, Sinners isn't a bad movie, but it's definitely overhyped. It has its moments, but it doesn't deserve the praise it's getting.

I'm not saying the movie is bad, it starts great, gets a little slow and the ending was okayish. But it's getting more hype that it deserves. It seems more like a one time watch rather than a timeless piece.

The cinematography is brilliant, soundtrack is great but the script is just mediocre. The plot just drops after 30 minutes or so. The ending feels somewhat lazy.
