Storyline
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.
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. Written by

Easily one of best movies of 2015 so far
Straight Outta Compton
is directed by F. Gary Gray and stars O'Shea Jackson Jr. (Ice Cube),
Corey Hawkins (Dr. Dre), Jason Mitchell (Eazy-E), and Paul Giamatti.
First off,before seeing this movie I knew very little about N.W.A and
their story and I have only listened to some of their songs and I have
to say I loved this movie. Everything was just so great from the casting
to the story telling. The acting was fantastic by everyone. The two
people who stood out was O'Shea Jackson Jr. Who played Ice Cube and
Jason Mitchell who played Eazy-E, both performances were amazing. Now
this movie had lots of funny moments but it also had lots of serious
moments. They weren't afraid to cover some of the more serious topics,
like what was going on during this time. F. Gary Gray handled those
moments very well. F. Gary Gray did an amazing job with this movie. The
only negative thing I had was that at some parts, some scenes dragged
too long and you feel the runtime (2 hours and 27 minutes) but besides
that I loved it. Overall Straight Outta Compton was an amazing movie
about these Artists and what they wanted to do, how they changed music
forever. If your a fan of N.W.A or just want to watch a great movie,
definitely check this out.
