Everybody references "Do the Right Thing," which I liked, as the Spike Lee movie Blackkklansman should have aspired to. But Lee should have given Blackkklansman the nuanced touch he gave in his 2006 documentary "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts" which made similar points as Blackkklansman but without the polemics, without the now-clichéd "Spike Lee Joint" film-making angles and effects and the awful "let's-hit-the-audience-over-the-head" endings that Lee has become infamous for. Adam Driver was outstanding, and like User reviewer @LamontRaymond I also enjoyed the cameo of Isiah Whitlock (Senator Clay Davis from "The Wire) in Blackkklasman. But overall, this movie is not the 80+ percent approval film that Metacritic rankings make it out to be.
