Synopsis
This stylish, outrageous, and incredible true story comes to the big screen, courtesy of director Spike Lee. Picture a time of social upheaval, when the struggle for civil rights and social equality is alive and well. No, not now – the 1970s! When rookie Ron Stallworth (John David Washington) joins the Colorado Springs police department, he’s the first African-American detective on their force – and he’s got big plans. Namely, he’s going to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan by posing as a white supremacist himself. Which is fine when he’s just on the phone, but he recruits a more seasoned, and whiter, colleague by the name of Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) to be the face of his undercover operation and gain in-person insight into the group’s plans. Stallworth’s crusade may be just another day on the job to Zimmerman, but together they work to expose the hate group as it’s trying to go mainstream. Oh, and did we mention Topher Grace plays Grand Wizard David Duke?

“I got it, did you get it?” “I got it!” “Jimmy did you get it?” “I got it!” “Flip did you get it?” “I got it!” “Sarge did you get it?” “YOU’RE UNDER ARREST.”

I'm not sure who pointed it out, but it's basically impossible for a cop to go undercover to infiltrate the KKK and not run into another cop who's, y'know, not undercover
Branson ReeseAug 7, 2018Usually, ending your movie with a news footage montage comes off as too preachy to me.....but the connection Spike makes between one of the characters and these certain clips is DUMBFOUNDING. Incredible and terrible at the same time. I then researched the actual story of…

my logic: these are just actors playing racists, you need to calm down my emotions: what you need to do is find topher grace and slap him in the teeth

Dont know why this movie isn't bigger than it is. the phone call scenes are hilarious and the film really shows how racists got away with being racist in the 60s and 70s, even in a time of progression. 9/10
Alex Ruppert likedBlacKkKlansmanI honestly don’t have much to say on this movie. There’s a message but imo it’s not very clear. The movie is almost trying to say too much if that makes sense. Surface level it’s very good movie. Great performances all around. I love the third act, which has a really good edit.
Benoit Lecanu lovedBlacKkKlansmanNo place for hate. Un excellent film tant sur les choix de plan et mise en scène que sur la performance des acteurs. Un très beau film avec une profondeur historique, il est important de se souvenir d’un passé même douloureux afin de ne pas faire les mêmes erreurs aujourd’hui.

Really good. Eye opening. Glad I watched this. Had me engaged and was very shocking. The story was intense and the anticipation just had me hanging on every word. Great acting/cast with an interesting story. The comedy didn’t take away from the severity of the plot; good balance.
Caio likedBlacKkKlansmanótima mistura entre seriedade e humor. sempre no tempo certo, sem banalizar a história e sem transformar numa lacrimosa. equilíbrio excelente
Carter True is "meh" onBlacKkKlansmanAlthough I enjoyed the movie, it was shot in a very interesting way that just isn’t the style I tend to enjoy.

1 or Spike’s absolute best! The parallels to today are amazingly scary. A true wake up call for those blindly falling Trump & some great backstory on Trump’s boy David Duke. Wake up white america!

There is a lack of buzz for this film and I understand why. There is a huge segment of our population that can't handle the truth. Great movie, tackled such a controversial subject in a humorous way. However, you will cry at the end and it has nothing to do with the…

If we are being asked to regard BlacKkKlansman as more than a movie, this may be another way of admitting that, on some fundamental level, it falls down as anything but revue sketch agitprop.

Veering from blaxploitation spoof to undercover thriller and ending with a no-punches-pulled real-life coda, it’s riotous fun one minute, savagely biting the next.

A perfectly decent comedy that will be accessible enough for a wide mainstream audience.
