BlacKkKlansman [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray] [2018]

I love Adam Driver in this. Such a versatile character. Mr. Washington did amazing. Great cast. I can see why they received so many nominations. One of my favorite gifts I received for Christmas since Im a huge Adam Driver fan.

This movie Blackkklansman is an incredible true story and I was unaware that this had taken place in our history. Thanks for the awareness.

I bought this film blind based on my brother's recommendation... and I'm happy I did! The story - based on a true story: a black cop infiltrates the KKK. These 6 words sold legendary Hollywood director Mr. Spike Lee to make this film. It's funny, edgy, timely, suspenseful, and so much more! Mr. Lee directed Denzel Washington's son John David Washington, and he along with Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, and company deliver the acting goods. On to the 4K part of the review: Mr. Lee is a classical filmmaker, and as such, his camera type of choice is film, not digital. The benefits of a native 4K scan really pop in the video presentation. I have a 4K projector (Optoma UHD51A), and in playing this film, my 4K UHD Blu-ray player (Sony UBP-X800) automatically switched to 24 frames per second, prompting my projector to display at 2160p (4K) 24Hz mode, giving this presentation the most authentic movie theater experience I've witnessed since I installed my new home theater system. The Dolby Atmos 7.1 audio (surprisingly!) delivers and then some. With this film being a mostly dramedy picture, I expected little to no audio to come out of any speaker other than the center. I was pleasantly mistaken. Scene audio sporadically came out of the left and right channels, but the real treat was during the auditorium scene when Corey Hawkins' character was speaking to the audience, and his voice from the podium came out of the center speaker, while the in-movie audience reaction/dialogue came out of the surround speakers, putting the viewer in the audience of Kwame Ture's speech. The film is great, and even if you don't have a 4K player yet, pick up the 4K copy as it does come with a standard Blu-ray to "future-proof" this film in your collection. Highly recommended!

I thought Blackkklansman was another great story brought to screen with a flare only Spike Lee can bring. A great cast, a great story and some humorous moments behind a true story line. Another great Spike Lee movie to go alongside Malcolm X, Do The Right Thing and Get On The Bus!

A great looking 4K/UHD. And, even better, a greater story. Unbelievable that this story is actually true. This film, along with "Do the Right Thing" and "Malcom X" is why Spike Lee is one of our most important filmmakers.

"Blackkklansman" is Spike Lee's triumphant return to provocative filmmaking. Having spent the last decade alternating between celebrity documentaries (films on Michael Jackson, sports legends Kobe Bryant and Jim Brown) and genre oddities (a remake of a Korean horror thriller "Old Boy", the mash-up musical of Greek drama and Chicago gang violence "Chi Raq"), Lee seemingly lost his edginess. "Blackkklansman" proves that maybe he was just taking a break. The story is based on the true exploits of African American police detective Ron Stallworth, played in a star-making performance by Denzel's son John David Washington. He successfully infiltrates the KKK in the 1970's over the phone pretending to be a racist wannabe, then combines with Jewish undercover cop Flip Zimmerman (a terrific Adam Driver) to actually join the Klan, even getting so far as to meet with David Duke (Topher Grace in a scary/funny performance). The story is told with brashness and breeziness, in a style that Lee perfected in his seminal 90's films "Do the Right Thing," "Malcolm X," and "Jungle Fever." By turns suspenseful, satirical, and violent, the story has to be seen to be believed, but see it you should, especially in the political climate we live in today.

This is probably Spike Lee's best move in 10 or 15 years, inspired work that speaks to the times. Adam Driver also continues to show he's extremely underrated when it comes to straight faced comedy or ridiculous situations in serious films. The visual presentation is great, especially considering the wide variety of film sizes and stocks used to make this film. Highly recommended!

This is one of Spike Lee's best movies. It based on a true story. While the story is based on history, it's very relevant today. I love that this movie can start a great conversation that needs to be had.
