Would you believe this story if I told you it in a bar?

Rating: 6/10 (11 April 2020)

You know those stories that are extremely hard to believe? Those are the best, you listen to them drinking your beverage, laughing and trying to stick some logic to the events but eventually give up and just enjoy? This one is pretty much like it, but a pressing matter constantly flows in the air, jumps to your face and doesn't rest a minute. This matter is racism.
Spike Lee doesn't allow you to divert your attention from the wrongdoings of white supremacists. It not wrong, but the realism is too cruel. It's hard to watch the movie easily, when you understand all the horrors of racial hatred. The undercover story though is unbelievable and is kind of fun, when you realize that all those "high standards" are so easily fooled that no one notices two guys that represent one of the biggest enemies of the clan: Black and Jewish folk respectively, to infiltrate the organization.
I was really impressed by Adam Driver's performance, showing that he can act while acting and his army experience made him even better in portraying a cop. John David Washington stunned by a great range of emotions. Love how all his concerns directly appear on his face, delivering a powerful statement of a man fighting for the right thing.
Throughout many serious moments quite a lot of funny stuff is happening that relieves you from the tension and ridicules the "organization". The soundtrack was probably my favorite part of the movie giving me shivers every time. Overall, I enjoyed this incredible real story that once again confirms the fact that hiding in plain sight may pay off, especially when a hunter is blinded by the desire to kill.
