Cinemanem Michael B. Jordan in double dose saves sinners of his own mediocrity

Responsible for successes such as the trilogy Creed (2015-2023) and Black panther (2018), with Chadwick Boseman (19976-2020), Ryan Coogler is back on the big screen with Sinnerswhich hits theaters from this Thursday, April 17, under a skill of compliments. But is the film, a period movie with a supernatural footprint, is really the best of the year?

In the news, the twins Elijah and Isaiahinterpreted by Michael B. Jordan(Fantastic quartet), return to their hometown in Mississippi (USA), with the intention of opening a club blues. However, with a troubled history, the pair discovers that even greater evil is waiting for them, ready to receive them back.

With soundtrack LUDWIG Göransson (From the Oscar winner OPPENHEIMER,, 2023) and a remarkable photograph (signed by Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), Sinners He is successful in his mission of transporting the viewer to a Mississippi of the 1930s amid racial segregation across the country, impacting him with hypnotist images.

However, as the film advances, Sinners It starts to get lost. Visual changes, such as the proportion of the screen, and the soundtrack, which exchanges compositions surrounding the touches of guitar, compromise immersion in history, breaking the atmosphere of that time and space in which Blues should reign sovereign.

The script of Coogler It seeks to treat relevant topics such as anchestreality, musical heritage, celebration of black culture and, of course, racial segregation. However, history does not support the weight of these discussions, which take much of the narrative, but are not well developed. Even when important moments arise, they are easily forgotten and perhaps survive only on networks like Tiktok, when cut and viralized in isolation.

More than half of the movie is dedicated to the preparation for the third act, but the weak development of the characters and the obsession with bad sex jokes – such as exaggerated mentions to oral sex in women, for example – end up disrupting the experience and, in the process, wasting big names in the cast, which still includes Hailee Steinfeld (Archer hawk), Wunmi Mosaku (Loki) and Delroy Beautiful (Blood Detachment).

Also, when Sinners Finally “remember” that there are supernatural antagonists in history-and if the viewer has already understood their nature, it should only find them naive or too naive-the feature introduces unjustrious, irritating and exaggerated creatures that do not survive the director’s metaphor to pass to the viewer.

At the end, Sinners It is a generic movie that seems to have no security in its audience. Whether by dialogues without substance, narrations in off Unnecessary or the difficulty in knowing the time to end, the feature takes just over two hours to deliver a disappointing “rice with egg” dish.
