Easily one of best movies of 2015 so far

Rating: 9/10 (17 September 2015)

Straight Outta Compton is directed by F. Gary Gray and stars O'Shea Jackson Jr. (Ice Cube), Corey Hawkins (Dr. Dre), Jason Mitchell (Eazy-E), and Paul Giamatti. First off,before seeing this movie I knew very little about N.W.A and their story and I have only listened to some of their songs and I have to say I loved this movie. Everything was just so great from the casting to the story telling. The acting was fantastic by everyone. The two people who stood out was O'Shea Jackson Jr. Who played Ice Cube and Jason Mitchell who played Eazy-E, both performances were amazing. Now this movie had lots of funny moments but it also had lots of serious moments. They weren't afraid to cover some of the more serious topics, like what was going on during this time. F. Gary Gray handled those moments very well. F. Gary Gray did an amazing job with this movie. The only negative thing I had was that at some parts, some scenes dragged too long and you feel the runtime (2 hours and 27 minutes) but besides that I loved it. Overall Straight Outta Compton was an amazing movie about these Artists and what they wanted to do, how they changed music forever. If your a fan of N.W.A or just want to watch a great movie, definitely check this out.
