A Painful Punishment โ Watching Sinners
Watching Sinners felt like being trapped in a two-hour sermon written by a high schooler who just discovered symbolism and decided to beat the audience over the head with it.
From the first scene, it was obvious this film was going to be a mess. The acting was wooden at best, laughably bad at worst โ think community theater, but without the charm. The dialogue was so unnatural it felt like it had been generated by an AI trained exclusively on fortune cookies and fire-and-brimstone sermons.
The plot tried to juggle too many themes โ sin, redemption, morality, trauma โ and dropped every single one. Instead of exploring them meaningfully, it just tossed in a bunch of vague religious imagery and slow-motion scenes meant to seem deep but ending up as unintentionally hilarious.
The pacing? Glacial. The cinematography? Over-stylized and pretentious, like the director just discovered sepia filters. The soundtrack? Completely mismatched and distracting โ half the time it sounded like stock music from a YouTube video titled โDramatic Background Music #3.โ
Worst of all, the movie thinks itโs profound. Itโs not. Itโs a melodramatic, poorly executed mess that confuses โdarkโ with โgoodโ and โconfusingโ with โthought-provoking.โ Watching Sinners was a sin in itself โ one Iโll be repenting for by never recommending it to anyone.
