I wouldn't call myself a Spike Lee fan as I've only seen three of his films, one of which —Oldboy— I hated, but nonetheless I was very excited about BlacKkKlansman as it looked interesting and I was intrigued by the cast.
Based on the memoir Black Klansman by Ron Stallworth, the film tells the story of Ron Stallworth (John David Washington), the first African American police officer in the Colorado Springs Police Department who in the 1970s successfully managed to infiltrate the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan with the help of his Jewish colleague, Detective Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver), who he convinced to go undercover as a white supremacist.
