Movie Storyline:
In 1987, five young men, using brutally honest rhymes and hardcore
beats, put their frustration and anger about life in the most dangerous
place in America into the most powerful weapon they had: their music.
Taking us back to where it all began, Straight Outta Compton tells the
true story of how these cultural rebels-armed only with their lyrics,
swagger, bravado and raw talent-stood up to the authorities that meant
to keep them down and formed the world's most dangerous group, N.W.A.
And as they spoke the truth that no one had before and exposed life in
the hood, their voice ignited a social revolution that is still
reverberating today
Movie Review
If you think you'll like this movie, you probably will. If you think you'll hate it, you probably will.
It's a predictable biopic of NWA, produced by the surviving members. It's fun even if it's basically just a series of events that have little to do with each other.
All the actors not only look similar to who they play, but also put in pretty great performances. The soundtrack is great (obviously). The last 10 minutes feel like it's from an entirely different movie though.
Overall I enjoyed it, I probably would've enjoyed it more if I hadn't seen as many similar music biopics.
