Very good, even if you're not an N.W.A fan!

Rating: 8/10 (19 January 2016)

I must admit I didn't know much about the history of N.W.A before watching this film, but I think that was a good thing. I wanted to know how the various stories played out and that was enough to kept me sitting comfortably for the 2 hr 27 min run time (quite long for this kind of movie). Overall the characters where all played well and fleshed out, the script and direction was good, I would recommend it for everyone!
I did find the lack of Oscar nods disturbing, perhaps it's the films depiction of cops and police violence, which is more then a little one sided to say the least, it didn't effect my enjoyment of the movie however.
