'Sinners' just arrived on Max — celebrate July 4 by streaming the best movie of the year

"Sinners" is finally streaming on Max, and it's the perfect way to enjoy the long July 4 weekend. Yes, you can (incredibly) still go and see Ryan Coogler's vampire horror movie in theaters. I certainly won't judge you if you do, as I think this movie benefits from being seen on the biggest screen possible — with the loudest sound system possible too. But if you don't want to brave the heat or traffic to get to your local cinema, or you don't want to pay $15-$20 for a movie ticket, it's okay. Just enjoy your beers and brats, then boot up Max on your TV at home and hit play on "Sinners." "Sinners" stars Michael B. Jordan as identical twins Elijah ("Smoke") and Elias ("Stack") Moore. Known as the Smokestack Twins, these two spent years away from home, fighting in World War I and then joining Al Capone's Chicago Outfit after returning to the U.S. from Europe. But now they're back in their Mississippi Delta hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi and they're men on a mission — to start a juke joint for the local Black community From Chicago, they've brought a literal truckful of booze, and they've bought a nearby abandoned sawmill from a racist landlord. They've even recruited their cousin Sammie (Miles Caton), a blues performer who goes by the name of "Preacher Boy," and a few other local musicians to perform at the juke joint's opening night. Sammie's music is transcendent, and the night looks to be a success. But his incredible music catches the ear of more than just the juke joint's patrons when a band of vampires arrive at the door. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "Sinners" has been a hit in every sense of the word. It's the third biggest movie at the U.S. box office this year. It's got a 97% "fresh" rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and the audience rating isn't far behind at 96%. We haven't said a negative word about it here at Tom's Guide, either. Senior Streaming Writer Alix Blackburn declared it her "favorite movie of 2025 so far," and I declared it "'From Dusk Till Dawn' — only much better." Just about everything in this movie works. The sound is incredible, as is the original music. Michael B. Jordan is incredible as both Smoke and Stack and what could have easily been derided as a gimmick instead becomes a brilliant casting choice by Coogler. So this July 4 weekend, go watch "Sinners." Go to a theater, buy or rent from Amazon or Apple or stream it on Max, which, if you don't have it already, is our pick for the best streaming service out there. If you're deaf, there's a version of "Sinners" in Black American Sign Language on Max that will allow you to watch it too. Heck, you can even watch it on HBO on cable or satellite on Saturday, July 5 at 8 p.m. ET. Just whatever you do, watch "Sinners."

Watch: Sinners Featurette Showcase the Creation of the Smokestack Twins

Sinners had a phenomenal run in cinemas, and now the movie is available on digital for people to go see and watch. Just in, WB has dropped a new featurette on how Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan brought the Smokestack Twins to life. Check this out: There have been several twin movies before where an actor plays multiple characters together onscreen, and Sinners manages to bring that to the next level with some next-gen VFX that use machine learning to properly graft Jordan's face onto his body double. I'll admit, the process does seem pretty tedious, what with Jordan having to replay scenes twice as different characters; then having to act out the scene again with a mobile rig that will capture several angles of his face. So far, this is the fifth collaboration between Jordan and Coogler, and they've both proven that they both can bring the best out of each other with the success of films like Creed and Black Panther . Though Sinners did feel like it was a movie that brought together several things that had been done before when it was originally announced, Coogler has proven that he can bring a very unique flair to his projects and Jordan himself makes for a very good anchor as a lead. We don't know what the two will do next, but Coogler is expected to make a third Black Panther movie; and I wouldn't be surprised if Jordan found a way to be in that film as well. Catch Sinners now available on digital.
