BlacKkKlansman Review: 8 Ups & 1 Down
1. It's Spike Lee's Best Film Since 25th Hour
Spike Lee's output has always been pretty inconsistent, though in recent years in particular he's struggled to put out many truly incisive, relevant movies that evoke the vibe of his strongest earlier works (namely Do the Right Thing).
BlacKkKlansman, however, is without question one of his most impressive and successful late-period works, serving as his most entertaining, informative and emotional drama since 2002's fantastic Ed Norton-starring film 25th Hour.
While many filmmakers lose their edge in middle-age, it's great to see a 61-year-old Lee still capable of delivering ferociously angry work that hearkens back to his more youthful days.
