Hollywood has long been home to legendary actor-director duos, who are known to create magic on screen. And with the movie Sinners, Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler might just have joined their ranks.
Returning for their fifth collaboration after Fruitvale Station, the Creed series, Black Panther series, the Jordan-Coogler partnership is back, and this time, instead of pulling punches, they are raising the stakes—literally. Their latest and quite anticipated cinematic marvel, Sinners, set to release on April 18, has debuted with an astounding 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Set in the 1930s Southern United States, Sinners follows twin brothers Smoke and Stack (both played by Jordan) as they return to their hometown. However, instead of a hearty welcome, they are greeted by a greater evil that will make Twilight and Vampire Diaries look like soap operas.
Fan reaction to Sinners debuting with a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes
While the initial critical response to Sinners has been positive, with many predicting an Oscar nod (or two) for Jordan, audiences are yet to be convinced about the film's merit. And this is evident in the way the Internet is calling out the ratings in the most savage way possible.
Here are someof the hilarious reactions that will make you laugh and might even end up motivating you to watch the movie when it hits the theatres.
User @William45589421 kkeeps it realistic and does not get too excited too soon:
"Give it time it could dip to 60"
User @ssmb291 seems surprised by the news:
"A movie about vampires debuting at 100%, it must be very very good"
User @theclipcult raises an eyebrow since the ratings sound too good to be true,
"100%? Either it's a masterpiece or the devil himself made it."
User @devindebugs found another way to say they are in awe of the movie.
"The devil saw the Coogler credit and quietly stepped aside."
User @luvisbud got a little carried away and confessed:
"Suddenly I'm a sinner"
On the other hand, user @TreyW10060 showed everyone the power of a good script:
"I hate horror film, I am a chicken. But in going for it!"
Sinners is a period supernatural horror epic that follows twin brothers who go looking for redemption, but find themselves stuck between two fangs. It's like The Parent Trap set in a Dracula universe. The movie is a blended puree of horror, Western, and gangster genres with a hint of Creed somewhere in the mix.
Apart from Jordan, the film stars Hailee Steinfeld, Li Jun Li, Omar Benson Miller, Jayme Lawson, and Wunmi Mosaku. Under the garb of horror, the film touches the subjects such as racial tension and systematic oppression. It portrays them with some serious blood-sucking action, because nothing says 'terrifying' like a vampire with a thirst for blood and justice.
