In fact, in this genre, I always preferred ‘Menace II Society’ which was even bleaker but t... read more

Description: John Singleton's portrayal of social problems in inner-city Los Angeles takes the form of a tale of three friends growing up together 'in the 'hood.' Half-brothers Doughboy and Ricky Baker are foils for each other's personality, presenting very different approaches to the tough lives they face. Ricky is the 'All-American' athlete, looking to win a football scholarship to USC and seeks salvation through sports, while 'Dough' succumbs to the violence, alcohol, and crime surrounding him in his environment, but maintains a strong sense of pride and code of honor. Between these two is their friend Tre, who is lucky to have a father, ... (more)

" Date: 5/2/2019 Viewed: Blu-Ray Rewatch Note: It's been a while since I saw this movie and decided to rewatch it after hearing John Singleton passed away. Nearly 30 years later, this movie is still great. I love all of the character and the overall story of this film. I think the message and the themes of this movie are still relevant in today's world. The acting in this movie is also great as well. I highly recommend this movie if you haven't seen it yet."
