End credits: BlacKkKlansman
Plus: The Spy Who Dumped Me
BlacKkKlansman is Spike Lee’s take on the true story of Ron Stallworth (John David Washington), the first African-American detective in Colorado Springs. Eager to make a name for himself Stallworth sets out to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan and expose them. With the help of seasoned colleague Flip Zimmerman (Adam Driver) the pair soon rise to the top of the local Klan charter. With the current climate in the US and elsewhere this highlights an important and powerful lesson from recent history.
Despite starring two usually great comedic stars, Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon, The Spy Who Dumped Me is a lacklustre spy comedy. After finding out her ex was a CIA spy, Audrey (Kunis) and her best friend become wrapped up in an assassination plot and mission to save the world. There’s a bunch of decent gags and the movie has its moments but it’s not enough to stop it feeling bloated.
