Straight Outta Compton Movie Story:

In 1987, five young men, using brutally honest rhymes and hardcore beats, put their frustration and anger about life in the most dangerous place in America into the most powerful weapon they had: their music(Straight Outta Compton Movie). Taking us back to where it all began, Straight Outta Compton tells the true story of how these cultural rebels-armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent-stood up to the authorities that meant to keep them down and formed the world's most dangerous group, N.W.A. And as they spoke the truth that no one had before and exposed life in the hood, their voice ignited a social revolution that is still reverberating today.(Straight Outta Compton Movie) Written by Universal Pictures

Straight Outta Compton tells the true live events of the rap group N.W.A and is produced by Ice Cube and Dr.Dre members of the group. Not going into too much detail but if you are a fan of N.W.A like me here is the movie for you. The film is directed F. Gary Gray and stars O'Shea Jackson JR (Ice Cube's son) Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell,(Straight Outta Compton Movie) Neil Brown JR, Aldis Hodge and Paul Giamatti. Thought this movie is a little bit too sugar coated and leaves out some events that I wish were explored in the movie, But now let's talk about what works well the first hour is close to amazing. The acting is incredible, O'Shea Jackson JR prepared for this role for 2 years and I was a little skeptical because he is the son of Ice Cube and I thought other actors should have been cast instead but I was totally wrong he owned it.(Straight Outta Compton Movie) Corey Hawkins was great he did not feel Hollywood is his performance natural like an actual person and Jason Mitchell was fantastic as well. Like really, really, really fantastic. The Editing, Pacing and cinematography is beautifully put together. Although the first act is top notch the second act lost some steam, some parts got confusing and(Straight Outta Compton Movie) felt like someone else directing it, and like I said this movie sugar coated a little too much. But those our my only complains really. Also forget to mention this but you might have figured out by now that the music is freaking awesome!! Straight Outta Compton might lose some steam at end and they missed some events that would have been great to see, none the less this is a must see for fans as for with great directing and acting I say check it out 8.3/10
