BlacKkKlansman Review- Jordan
BlacKkKlansman is the latest film from Spike Lee.

Criminal Movie Review
I actually got to see this movie last week at a free screening, but decided to hold off on the review until the week of its release to make it feel more relevant and hopefully avoid any trouble I could get into from reviewing it too early.
