Straight Outta Compton

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2015)

This movie is riveting, poignant and will have you on the edge of your seat! It's about a dream realized through adversity, friendships tested and bad business deals. The director Mr. F. Gary Gary had the monumental task of telling a story of true pioneers, that changed history, the music industry and the world with their reality. He opened our hearts and minds to the true struggle of "NWA" and how they faced first hand police brutality, inner city crime, poverty and blight, all while trying to become men and change the environment. The "Cast" told the story as if they lived through it. They ("Cast") embodied the full and true characteristics of Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins), Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson, Jr), Eazy E (Jason Mitchell), MC Ren (Aldis Hodge) & DJ Yella (Neil Brown, Jr). They took us inside of their ("NWA") world and made us experience joy, pain, heartaches and true success. Whether your a fan or not this is a must see, it speaks to us all no matter what level in life we are. It helps us understand one another and the various struggles we may face.
