    Perhaps they were all only newly created that day so were uncertain about the rules of being a vampire. The Irish guy shouldn't have been caught out in it though.

    Thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the film too.

    Nah something must be going on with these views.

    This is like something written from American Fiction. I thought it was Robert Johnson not Buddy guy. Although he's looking good for close to 90

    Irritated now.

    It'd be more interesting if you actually got into what you didn't like about the film or why. Your previous post didn't really give anyone reason to engage with your "awful, 1/5" review - which on a craft level alone is IMO already a bit silly, a film would have to be monumentally worse than this (and beyond simple "I didn't care for it" territory) to deserve that bad a rating.

    But if you really thought it was that bad, make your case. What did it do wrong?

    a podcast i listen to has suggested that it was meant to be MbJ and jonathan majors before all the awful stuff about him came out. seems there isnt a whole pile of evidence to back it up but i wouldnt be surprised either if it were the case

    Funny you should mention Robert Johnson there. In my ignorance, I'd never heard of him before last week when he popped up in an episode of Timeless (really average time travel show). Watching Sinners a few days later made me think that Coogler must have used Johnson as inspiration, especially with the "deal with the devil" legend associated with him.

    As far as the film goes, I thought it was fine, but I do find that Coogler films tend to be overrated in the extreme.

    I was quite disappointed with the fight scenes (felt messy, and not intentionally so) and like others have mentioned, I didn't think there was enough of a distinction between the twins (in how they were written or acted).

    The music was a highlight though, as was newcomer Miles Canton. Delroy Lindo and Jack O'Connell are always excellent (and underrated) as well....
