Film review: Sinners is a heady mix of sex, garlic and the blues

Sex and garlic and the blues. That’s Sinners in a nutshell. It’s also about the only thing in this big-budget production from writer/director Ryan Coogler that would fit in one. This movie is loud and proud, big and brash.

And original. I mean, yes, it involves vampires, not to mention a character named Annie (played by Wunmi Wosaku) who knows all the ways to kill them or at least keep them at bay.
