Warts and all, "Sinners" is a wholly original motion picture full of bravura moments, strong performances, and horror-appropriate gore and violence.

Starts out with Hitchcockian flair and rides a dizzying wave of anxiety-based mystery until, like far too many underwritten thrillers, it falls apart.

Never finds its groove, constantly veering from one set-piece to another with a scattershot storyline and whiplash-inducing tone inconsistencies.

For anyone whose primary concern is to see the righteous slaughter of bad guys at the hands of the noble Statham, "A Working Man" does not disappoint.
