An entertaining Spike Lee movie

Rating: 7/10 (26 September 2018)

Was considering seeing Blackkklansman, but was worried about how heavy it may be. My experience of previous Spike Lee movies is that they are mostly good movies, but a difficult watch. Suppose I shouldn't really criticize this as so many movies made n Hollywood have little substance.
Anyway it's great to report that Blackkklansman is both an entertaining and powerful film. It tells the true story of Ron Stallworth infiltrating the ku kjlux klan. That may be seen as difficult for any individual, but Ron also has to contend with the added difficulty of being black.
The film contains a lot of the trademark Spike Lee touches which with one exception add to the film rather than distracting you. There's great acting, humour, tension and a powerful conclusion. A great watch.
