Its more power fantasy about taking out the KKK, 1930's Mississippi was not kind to black people. Its like Inglorious Bastards with the Jews taking out Hitler, in a vacuum its fine and can be cathartic film making.
Isn't that sort of the premise of that Lovecraft Country TV show that was on HBO or something? It's some powerful black people fighting the clan and Cthulhu or something retarded. I never watched it and I never will, but I kind of remember some of you guys talking about but that sort of being the premise.

I haven't seen it, but reading about it it seems like it was more on the nose racism in that from anyone white. This was more "Well they are KKK so they are obviously over the top racist and its fun to watch them die" like Inglorious Bastards.

It took an hour before it got interesting. Not horrible but would have much rather had the introduction / exposition laid out a little differently and not as long. It established Smoke and Stack but also went way into stuff I didn't care about.

Was good but doesn't come close to being Amazing or an 8.2 IMDB. It is saved when the action kicks off and vampire stuff starts happening.

Do we really need catharsis for smaller scale things that happened 100ish years ago? Hitler was one of the largest historical figures in WW2, which was one of the largest events in human history; did anyone really think of "Inglorious Bastards" as needed cartharsis? It's really just revenge porn. People don't seem to have the same opinion about "Sinners", thankfully because that would be a shame: Down that road lies the Balkans or or the Middle East.
