Sinners and Saints

About This Movie

Sinners and Saints really dives into the dark underbelly of post-Katrina New Orleans, blending action with a heavy dose of crime drama. It’s gritty, raw, and the atmosphere is thick with tension and loss. Detective Sean Riley, played with a palpable weight of grief, is navigating his own demons while trying to team up with the eager but somewhat naive Will Ganz. The pacing has its moments where it drags, but when the action hits, it hits hard. The practical effects stand out, especially in the brutal murder scenes that are not for the squeamish. There’s a depth to the themes of redemption and the consequences of violence that linger long after the credits roll. It’s a film that resonates with those who appreciate a darker, more somber narrative.
