9/10 movie 11/10 will watch againĮven as a white kid from suburbia, I remember being exposed to the exhilarating and raucous sound of N.W.A. GREAT MOVIE, if you like N.W.A, it is really worth your while, and if you are not, it is still worth a watch just because of the really intriguing true story that "Straight Out Of Compton" is. This is one of those movies I am really expecting to see a 8,3 star rating or something similar, and it really frustrates me to see a lot of people giving this movie unnecessary hate.
This is the first time i have ever written an review on IMDb, even though I have a lot of strong opinions about movies, but I really had to come to this movies defence.
Great directing, the movie has a really nice action curve, keeping things interesting throughout the movie, and really gives the public a good insight of the life of some of the biggest stars in the world during the 80's/90's. Great performances by actors who looks a lot like the original group, as well as Paul Giamatti. It is a really interesting true story about some of THE great rap artists of our generation. Personally I am a big fan of N.W.A, without that being the reason I am rating this movie 9/10. As much as anything, this movie really is a lot about the abuse that a lot of black males experienced from the police in the 80's (which is still a very relevant topic). What people does not seem to understand is that this is a movie about the rise, and fall of the biggest rap group ever, how they evolved and what power, money, and fame can to a man (and in this case, his relationship to his friends). A lot of empty reviews only giving 1 star due to "explicit sexual content, and black men who does not respect the law". When reading other reviews about this movie, I really get frustrated due to the lack of understanding about what this movie is really about. If it is very very odd for you, then perhaps you'll learn something watching it. since 1982 and I found it to be very interesting on many levels. Open your minds, not everything is Ellen and Seinfeld. This should not be a drawback, but rather a very realistic telling of what happened. To the point that many like to mention about the vulgarity: it was real life depiction! movies about 1600 England have a certain dialect. southern accents, but that doesn't mean those flicks are not great. One need not have knowledge of the hip hop culture/industry, any more than one needs to know about southern America to watch and appreciate steel magnolias or fried green tomatoes (ok, I'm dating myself here). I was prepared for a typical bio (especially music bios) where the story is way ahead of the acting. Oshea Jackson was the weak link in my opinion but paul giamatti, and the guy who portrayed easy-e were amazing. I was shocked at how good the acting was. To say one needs to know ebonics and ridiculous things such as that.is racist. opinions will always vary on quality of movies, but I am shocked at many of the comments/reviews I've seen for soc (straight outta Compton). First of all, I am a white man, 58 years old.
