Do NOT Listen to the Offended Reviewers

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2015)

I usually do not write reviews for movies, but I feel like this movie is given unfair treatment by the same radicals who bought N.W.A's records in the 80s and 90s to protest and demolish them. I keep reading there's nothing good about this film and that is a complete lie. The acting is superb and Oscar-worthy, the cinematography is beautiful, the writing is constantly exciting, and the impact is long lasting.
Yes, this movie shows much excess (sexually, violently, etc.), but this is the reality of the film and even with all this adult content, there is learning from the characters on screen. Much like WOLF OF WALL STREET, there's a lot of offensive acts, but it's there to show the growth of these characters we follow for nearly three hours of screen time. Even if you hate rap or whatever N.W.A was promoting, you can still find talent in front of and behind the camera. If you deny that, you should never write a film review and you're only letting your values criticize something that shouldn't be judged on the surface.
I guarantee you most of these 5 star and under reviews are from people who either know nothing of the filmmaking process or they are completely against the handful of scenes shown in STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON's certain moments of mature content without considering what these adult images transcend into. I'm not spoiling anything, but you should give this movie a chance, because it's more than a rap gimmick... It's American history. You're not only getting sex and violence, you're getting a series of vignettes following several interwoven stories that capture the harsh realities of ghetto life and federal hypocrisy.
