Power to the person...!

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2018)

Spike Lee's new film about a black policeman who infiltrated the KKK via phone during the 1970's is a triumph of audacious premise & topical racial politics. Denzel Washington's son plays the detective w/a command of the material & a swagger matching his dad's best performances (What a conundrum to make a trip to the multiplex & having to pick either of the Washington films to see). Also w/Adam Driver & Laura Harrier (from Spiderman: Homecoming) this is being hailed as one of Lee's best but forget the hype, just see the film to witness a moment in history we're unlikely to forget.
