Ryan Coogler | 2025 | USA | 2h17m | English | 10-minute intermission
SINNERS is Ryan Coogler’s most ambitious film, merging classical gangster cinema with contemporary political and social commentary.
Coogler blends operatic scale with close psychological observation. The film’s propulsion comes not just from conflict, but from its moral contradictions. Characters operate within structures that reward brutality while punishing restraint, forcing constant negotiation between survival and conscience.
SINNERS engages directly with American mythologies of success, masculinity, and power. It questions how criminality, commerce, and politics intersect, and how individual agency is constrained by inherited systems. It's also a pretty kick-ass Vampire movie!
The result is a sweeping portrait of ambition and consequence, grounded in emotional realism and historical awareness.
