      Audience Member Much to my surprise I enjoyed this. Not a fan of Rap but always a fan of well acted and produced movies and this is one of those. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I work in the inner city and empathize with those who have suffered from police abuse having witnessed it many times myself but Straight Outta Compton left me out. Some will say I don't understand the culture and that might be somewhat true but the continue negative portrayal of such individuals especially as they moved up the music ladder left me walking out of the room before the film even ended. If there were a couple of flashbacks that kept haunting them or scenes of some redemption I might have felt somewhat differently but it's hard to feel for those who are continually full of hate and anger even to what they consider "their own kind" as they step over them for glory. The movie also was somewhat repetitive and the language was over the top where their the "F & N word" was used as if it was "the" and therefore lost any force. The acting was the only redeeming quality of this film. ** 1/2 Stars Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
