Entertaining but not as good as the critics want you to think

Rating: 6/10 (19 January 2019)

I was entertained by this movie but frankly I think Spike Lee is a mediocre director. It's a strange movie, part comedy part dramatic racial justice commentary and I don't think the mix worked. It would have been more powerful as a drama. It's strange to laugh during a movie then at the end see the real life horrific incident in Charlottesville. And I found John Davis Washington in the lead role to be wooden. His delivery is somewhat deadpan.
