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.

User Reviews
Straight Outta Compton deserves
it's top spot in the box office. The negative reviews I've seen focus on the
excessive obscenity in this movie, but honestly to those reviewers: what did
you expect? This movie is about a rap group that popularized the use of
excessive explicit obscene language and themes in rap music in order to portray
the harsh realities of their daily lives. I think one drawback of this movie is
that it does gloss over the not-so-pretty pasts of individual N.W.A members
(ex: Dr. Dre's history of abuse towards women), but if you're going into this
movie expecting it not to have graphic scenes of violence, sex, nudity and
profanity, then you must have severely misinterpreted the trailer and forgotten
what this film is about and who produced it.
My two cents on "Straight
Outta Compton," for what it's worth is that it is a well done movie. As I
mentioned, some ugly details are glossed over and embellished, but otherwise
from my preliminary research, I think this movie doesn't do a bad job of
telling N.W.A's story. The acting is superb and compelling. Ice Cube's son as
Ice Cube was perfect, and I don't think anyone would have captured his essence
any better than Oshea Jackson Jr did. I can say the same for pretty much all
the other casting decisions. (Shout out to actor that plays Tupac - he has a 5
minute scene, and except for when he talks - he NAILS the look completely!)
Great movie overall, especially if you're into this type of music.
