Review: Ryan Coogler makes 'Sinners' more than a vampire movie

  • Ryan Coogler directed the movie Sinners, released by Warner Bros., about two brothers returning to 1930s Mississippi.
  • The brothers, both played by Michael B. Jordan, earned money working for Chicago gangsters and aim to open a juke joint with great music.
  • Sinners is not a horror film as trailers imply, but an engrossing metaphorical account of music history with outsiders threatening the brothers' world.
  • The film features a key moment three-fourths in, highlights mesmerizing performances by Mosaku and Miles Caton, and demonstrates Coogler's skill at generational storytelling.
  • Sinners suggests a possible reunion and shows Coogler's ability to connect historical themes with contemporary relevance beyond vampire movie expectations.
