Plot Summary:
In the neon-drenched underbelly of Los Angeles, two brothers find themselves on opposite sides of morality, faith, and vengeance in “Sinners”—a gripping crime thriller where loyalty is tested, and redemption comes at a deadly price.
The Brothers:
- Darius King (Michael B. Jordan) – A former gang enforcer turned preacher, Darius has spent the last five years trying to atone for his violent past by leading a small congregation in South Central. He believes in second chances—until his past comes knocking.
- Malik King (Miles Caton) – Darius’s reckless younger brother, still deep in the street life. When Malik steals a fortune from a ruthless cartel, he ignites a war that forces Darius back into the darkness he swore to leave behind.
The Conflict:
After a botched heist, Malik stumbles into Darius’s church, bleeding and desperate. He’s being hunted by Victor Rojas (Benicio del Toro, in a chilling cameo), a cartel kingpin who wants his money back—and blood in exchange.
Darius must choose:
- Turn Malik in and let the streets consume him.
- Protect his brother and return to the violence he abandoned.
But when the cartel murders members of Darius’s congregation as a warning, the line between savior and sinner blurs. Armed with a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other, Darius embarks on a brutal quest for justice—where every bullet is a prayer, and every death feels like a sin.
The Climax:
In a rain-soaked final showdown, Darius confronts Victor in a decaying church. As Malik lies bleeding, Darius must decide whether to execute Victor or spare him—knowing either choice will damn him forever.
