Review of BlacKkKlansman (2018) by Moviemitch96 — 09 Aug 2018

Admittedly, I've never been too crazy about Spike Lee (with the exception of 'Do the Right Thing', which is probably his most classic and well-known film.) However, although predictable and seemingly formulaic at times, this latest effort of his did manage to go in some unexpected directions, and I mean this in a pleasantly surprised and good way.

Lee cleverly and skillfully balances dark comedy with biting political, social, and of course racial commentary to make for one powerhouse of a film. In addition, John David Washington and Adam Driver both give bold lead performances.

Overall, Lee really is in top form with this latest effort of his. Any film that enrages its audience or at least makes them ponder with its all too true and relevant themes and events is a pretty effective film in my book, and this film fits that bill perfectly needless to say.
