Very entertaining film if you hit the stop button 2 minutes early

Rating: 7/10 (18 May 2020)

I have a love/hate relationship with Spike Lee joints. He has incredible story telling skills. He knows how to engage an audience and entertain while providing substance... but he sometimes doesn't know when to stop.
This film was so entertaining, filled with humor and quite well acted. Yes, the subject matter is serious and very loosely based on true events, but I was pleasantly surprised with the level of humor it had.
It's unfortunate that ultimately Spike Lee felt the need to inject current political nonsense and drive his agenda. There is just no need for it and it completely kills the tone of the film. I dinged 2 points for its unnecessary buzz kill ending
