Music history well told.

Rating: 8/10 (14 August 2015)

Straight Outta Compton is an entertaining film based on the historical rap group NWA.
Directed by F Gary Gray, (famed for the award winning "Boyz n The Hood"), and help from mega producer Dr. Dre and Ice Cube. With additional input from ex members, the film chronicles the inception, fight for free speech, inner conflicts and the eventual collapse of the ground breaking group.
Good casting and film length, with captivating content end to end. Events of police brutality and harassment, could easily make todays news.
Like any film, it's not for everyone. Yes, it's mature but it doesn't have unapt or gratuitous sex or violence. Authentic depictions and content steer the biopics' story line. If I made a story about sheep, expect to see a wool. A biopic, based on the first gangsta' rap group, who's most famous song is titled,"F**K Da' Police!", probably shouldn't be seen by the easily offended.
That in mind, I recommend this film for mature movie goers of all stripes. Especially, music fans and those of the genre.
