This movie gets dumber every time I watch it.

Rating: 4/10 (16 May 2020)

Flashback to the first time I watched this movie. I gave it a resounding 10. I loved it. I got sucked into the hype. Then about a year later, I watched it again and I realized something: This movie is full of crap its laughable. It caters to the middle class working joe who wants to know what it's like to be among the gang bangers of LA. If I were a gang banger, I would be embarrassed at how I was portrayed. Over the top cliches are abound and ridiculous scenarios that would never happen. That said, its a fun movie all in all to watch, but it is one of those movies that starts to annoy you more and more after every viewing.
Go ahead, watch it. Have fun, but have more fun pointing out the idiocy in the scenes as they begin to rear their ugly heads.
10 stars for popcorn entertainment
2 stars for the Hollywood view of police and gang bangers.
