There’s something about movies based on a true story that keeps you on the edge of your seat silently mouthing ā€œwtfā€. Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman does just that. Based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, the first African-American officer and detective in Colorado Springs. His mission is simple: infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan and expose them.
Spike Lee delivers a tense, high stakes, tongue-in-cheek film that everyone should watch.
