Leave your thoughts about The Klansman.
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillIt's a Hollywood movie with the great Lee Marvin giving a morally complex performance opposite a noticeably intoxicated Richard Burton. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickPerhaps at some point The Klansman had the potential to live up to its incendiary material, but it ends up doing little more than crassly exploiting it. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe more gruesome acts against blacks undoubtedly make The Klansman a favorite viewing option in the Trump-Bannon White House, but everyone else will be properly repulsed by this utterly repellent melodrama. |
| User ReviewChuck ZRichard Burton, Lee Marvin, and O.J. Simpson performing a script by Sam Fuller! Yes, yes, and yes! And it's just as jaw-dropping as it sounds! |

| User ReviewIce RThe perfect film when you are looking for racism. |
| User Reviewdelysid di found this film to be more or less boring. i much prefered the intruder with william shatner which was the same thing but better |
| User ReviewNiikkarlaz MYou have no idea how incredibly entertaining this movie is. I'm serious, and so is this movie. |
| User ReviewBrandon Crefreshing to see a film about racism that isn't so in your face morally and actually has characters as apposed to a load of walking moral messages. lee marvin is very able but i enjoyed watching O.J. the most doing his thing... taking action rather than mouthing words |
| User ReviewStephen CÃ-msom tv-film ömsom grisigt, Cameron Mitchell är ett svin, Lee Marvin är nykter, O.J. är arg och Richard Burton är snäll och halt. |
