A very good movie bad on true events.

It may disturb you because it is true. More disturbing is that in the year 2020 still true millions of Americans still believe that racist crap like the Proud Boys, twist on KKK that our American President Trump supports. Odd since his grandchildren & son in law are of the Jewish religion.
Still no change in 2020 in America. White supremacy still just more hidden.

A classic trickster tale with a Spike Lee twist and social and political commentary. John David Washington and Adam Driver own this film. The best part is the protagonist, Ron Stallworth, is a real person and really did infiltrate the KKK. This is my favorite Spike Lee film and deserved so many more Academy Awards than it got. Truly a masterpiece.

I have mixed feelings about this movie . The acting is excellent. The only complaint I had was that I was hoping for more depth into the COOINTELPRO project. Instead I got some candy version of it . The movie focuses more in racism aspect and considering movies like washed up Green Book this one handles it more in the heavy side. I am pretty “ Meh” about it .

I've now finally watched "Malcolm X" and now this brilliant Spike Lee film. This movie is made more disturbing by the 2016, 2017 and 2020 protests... how much Black Lives Matter and the destructive sad ways of the KKK. The final few moments will shake you and hopefully bring people to vote this November 2020.

I found this movie scary, realistic, funny, satirical, and seriously thought provoking. I would easily recommend it to friends. I hope to read the book someday.

Fantastic and superb movie! Based on a true story, it was enlightening to see how the group works & how a black police officer was able to infiltrate it in the '70s. The actors/actresses did a great job with the characters that they played. There are so many layers in this movie. Evokes a lot of thought and emotions! Highly recommend checking out this film!

At the end, they showed clips of racial protests & fighting from the Charlottesville car terror attack in 2017 and how Trump addressed it. Scary how things have not changed much or have gone backwards.

couldn't really watch past the first 20 minutes- relying too heavily on stereotypes, funny one but stereotypes just the same

A decent satire based on true events. There are just so many possibilities available here, it seems a bit like a missed opportunity. Good, but a bit too simple. Good performances with standouts being Jasper Paakkonen and an unexpectedly impressive turn by Topher Grace. Ashlie Atkinson shines in a minor role, as well.

Wow! All the buzz about this film is deserved - suspenseful, funny, but devastating in its depiction of racism in the 70s and its continued plague on our country. I revelled in the the joy of the Soul-Train-dance line in the club scene (and I read in _Vulture_ that that was actress Laura Harrier's favorite day of filming). Such scenes, along with the hilarity of the black policeman's chummy phone discussions with KKK leader David Duke, carry you through the tragic story that is racial oppression in America. A must-see.
