Angry, passionate, funny, very entertaining. A true outlandish story - I'm not sure how accurate but it feels true ish in part because as the film makes very aware many of the issues of the time are faced today.
John David Washington is fine in the lead as are Adam Driver and Laura Harrier in support (she's got a big affro and spouts a lot of lines about the cause rather than play a character, but then she is a female character in a Spike Lee movie) but the film is stolen by the colorful support: Topher Grace is David Duke, Jasper Paakkonen as a racist, Ashlie Atkinson as an overweight racist, Corey Hawkins as a nationalist.
It's directed with passion and vigor - the parallels drawn with modern times are very effective.
