James K @Jamesdkman 6d This was really the first movie of its kind for the 90s to truly embody the essence of that decade, without pulling from the previous one. This was purely a 90s flick, one that kind of felt like an exaggerated example at first. but ends up being a true representation in hindsight. It was gritty, it was scary to see that people are really like that, and it really did a good job of conveying a message. I loved that the movie stayed relatively grounded, even though I felt in spots that O-Dog was working with plot armor. Besides that, if you're looking for a film that is geniune representation of the early 90s, Menace to Society would be a pretty good choice.

It had a story to tell and this film did a amazing job telling the watcher how dangerous the lifestyle can be while also being entertaining one of the few movies I would watch again See more Jeremy P. @Jezza_Linko Nov 26 awesome movie about growing up in the hood fighting for survival ended up having a baby and then dying at the end of the movie See more r96 s @RT00952237 Sep 7 'Menace II Society' delivers an eventful 90 minutes! It's a film I certainly like, it is a predictable (beginning aside) ride but one that does manage to hit a fair bit. The characters are admittedly not the most likeable, though their predicament is still easy to connect to. Tyrin Turner makes for a solid lead, with Larenz Tate and Jada Pinkett (Smith) the pick of the rest; the latter, to be honest, brings the best acting of the main bunch. Aside from Pinkett, I did find the acting to be imperfect - not bad, whatsoever, but those away from Jada do get a bit cringey in parts. Good to see Samuel L. Jackson involved, albeit minimally. The ending, whilst good and totally serviceable, did irritate me slightly. I won't spoil what happens, but the 'last act' of Caine doesn't make total sense; you can tell they done it like that because it sounded dramatic on paper. Is it just me or did he laughably put the young fella in more danger? It took me out of the scene, I can't lie. Overall, this 1993 release is very good. I just evidently had a couple of (relatively minor, but noteworthy) issues with it, that's all. See more Read all reviews
