A bit jumpy in parts

Rating: 6/10 (30 August 2018)

Whilst gripped by this movie at the start especially where Ron Stallworth goes undercover I genuinely felt for the struggle that the black people were facing at that time and indeed now. Midway through the movie I did find myself trying to stay engaged but nodding off, characters were shoehorned in and not really explained or fleshed and the insertion of blaxploitation movie references were not really required. All in all I think BlackkKlansman is more of a statement on Trumps America today instead of trying to tell a fascinating but true story. The move also was supposed to have an edge of humour to it, but sadly it was lost on me for such a serious subject matter, Spike Lee's Jungle Fever hits the mark better
