Rated R for gun, wooden stake and fang violence. Running time: 2 hours 18 minutes. In theaters.

First paragraph from the Washington Post:

"Sinners" is a movie that, when it was over, had me wanting to run out of the theater so I could go sprint through a wall. It's exhilarating in the visceral way only movies can be. "I want people walking out of the theater and thinking, 'Man, I had a full meal,'" writer and director Ryan Coogler told Interview magazine, and if you were wondering how big of a deal the "Black Panther" director has become, the interviewer he gave that quote to was LeBron James. The film, which led the box office during its opening weekend, is a huge, staggeringly ambitious swing - part stomping musical, part period piece, part piercing social commentary, and part, uh, vampire flick. That it is all of these things simultaneously and also a huge commercial hit is ridiculous and wonderful.
