‘Sinners,’ starring Michael B. Jordan, is now streaming on Prime Video UK — Here’s how to watch

One of 2025’s biggest box office hits is finally available to stream. After dominating theaters earlier this year, Sinners, the gritty Southern Gothic thriller from Ryan Coogler, is now streaming on Prime Video UK. You can buy or rent the movie today, and if you have a Max add-on, you’ll be able to stream it at no extra cost starting July 4.

With powerful performances, a chilling atmosphere, and a gripping original story, Sinners has already earned its place as one of the most talked-about films of the year.

What is Sinners about?

Set in the Mississippi Delta during 1932, Sinners tells the story of twin brothers Elijah “Smoke” Moore and Elias “Stack” Moore, both played by Michael B. Jordan, who return to their hometown after years of crime and violence in Chicago.

Hoping to start fresh, they plan to open a juke joint with their cousin Sammie, a young guitarist dreaming of a future in music. But peace isn’t so easy to find. As they try to leave their past behind, the brothers find something dark waiting for them, a sinister force rooted in the land they once called home.

What follows is a haunting mix of family tension, buried secrets, and supernatural dread as the Moore family fights to survive in a town that hasn’t forgotten who they were, and might not forgive who they’ve become.

Michael B. Jordan delivers a career-best performance

In a challenging dual role, Michael B. Jordan plays both Smoke and Stack with stunning depth. His portrayal of the two brothers, one hardened by violence, the other desperate for redemption, is intense, emotional, and easily one of the film’s biggest strengths.

Jordan reunites with Creed and Black Panther director Ryan Coogler, who once again brings out the best in him. Their creative partnership continues to shine, this time with a darker and more atmospheric story.

The cast also includes Hailee Steinfeld as Mary, Stack’s complicated ex-girlfriend, Wunmi Mosaku as Annie, Smoke’s estranged wife with secrets of her own, and Miles Caton in a breakout role as Sammie “Preacher Boy” Moore, the musical heart of the story

Other key players include Jack O’Connell, Jayme Lawson, Delroy Lindo, Lola Kirke, and Saul Williams, each adding weight and texture to a world filled with pain, hope, and mystery.

One of Prime Video UK’s best new additions

Let’s face it, Prime Video’s movie selection can be a mixed bag. While there are always a few hidden gems, it’s rare to find something that truly feels like an event. Sinners is that rare film.

This isn’t just a thriller, it’s a character-driven story wrapped in Southern folklore, drenched in tension, and elevated by a phenomenal cast. Coogler’s direction brings a sense of place that’s rich, eerie, and unforgettable. Every frame feels loaded with emotion and danger.

At the time of writing, Sinners holds an impressive 88% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, with audience scores climbing even higher. The buzz is real, and the movie lives up to it.

If you’re in the mood for something that’s more than just action or horror, something that blends both with a real emotional core, Sinners should be at the top of your list.

It’s a dark, moody, and powerful story about family, faith, and the past we can’t outrun. Whether you’re watching for Jordan’s powerful performance, Coogler’s direction, or just to see what all the hype is about, this is one Prime Video pick that actually delivers.
