"Emotionally exhausted and morally bankrupt."

Rating: Null/10 (3 February 2016)

I watched this movie start to finish with no interruptions. I found it be poorly edited and paced and lacking any significant emotional buildup or catharsis. Yeah, Jerry is scum and taking advantage of the boys and probably Eazy E participated in it, but even the "big reveal," that Eazy E. has AIDS was sterile.
Sug Knight was poorly played and that actor had no idea how to menace someone just by his presence. Physically he was almost too small to play Sug, but his size could have been complemented by camera angles and keeping him in the foreground.
It also seems that the depiction of the relationships between the original NWA members was very sanitized. With Eazy E getting the majority of the money and the other members getting very little (they eating steak and lobster and we eating burgers), they must have been multiple disagreements that lead to the group's disintegration.
Lastly the ending left little closure, Eazy E dead, and perhaps Dre and Cube back together, but at what level? All in all a very unsatisfying film, but maybe that's was the real deal for this group.
