“Sinners” First Reviews: Michael B. Jordan Shines in Ryan Coogler’s Gripping Horror Thriller

The wait is over, and fans are going crazy over Sinners, the new horror film starring Michael B. Jordan in not one, but two roles! Directed by Ryan Coogler, the movie is already being called a “blood-soaked masterpiece” and one of the best films of 2025.

What’s the Movie About?

Set in the 1930s, during the tough times of the Jim Crow era in the American South, Sinners follows twin brothers, Smoke and Stack, both played by Michael B. Jordan. The brothers return to their hometown, only to find themselves trapped in a terrifying nightmare filled with ghosts, demons, and dark secrets.

One of the most chilling moments in the trailer is when one of Jordan’s characters says:
“I’ve been all over this world. I’ve seen men die in ways I ain’t even know was possible… Of all the things that I’ve seen, I ain’t ever seen no demons, no ghosts, no magic… till now.”

This line sets the mood for the film—mysterious, scary, and full of suspense.

Why Is Everyone Talking About It?

Michael B. Jordan is no stranger to amazing performances. From Fruitvale Station (2013) to Black Panther (2018), he has always impressed audiences. But in Sinners, he takes his acting to a whole new level. Playing twin brothers means he had to create two completely different personalities—and he nailed it!

To make sure his performance was perfect, director Ryan Coogler even brought in real-life twin filmmakers Logan and Noah Miller as “twin consultants.” That’s how much effort went into making this movie special.

A Star-Studded Cast

Jordan isn’t the only big name in the film. The movie also stars:

  • Delroy Lindo (known for Da 5 Bloods)
  • Hailee Steinfeld (from Hawkeye and Pitch Perfect)
  • Jack O’Connell (star of Unbroken)
  • Wunmi Mosaku (from Lovecraft Country)
  • And many more talented actors!

With such a strong cast, every scene feels intense and real.
