Still from the 2025 movie, Sinners. Two identical men, dressed in suits, look beyond the camera. The one on the left wears a brown fedora hat with a red tie; on the right, a blue newsboy cap, blue tie, and holds a cigarette. Behind them is the brown-and-blue siding of an old building and front windshield of a red car, and in the horizon a green treeline.
