To me, this movie is perfection.
i must have seen a different film!!
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Great movie!! The ending song is one of my favorites by Ice Cube. I don't agree with the reason why there are liquor stores and gun stores on every block. It's called supply and demand. Don't buy them and they won't be there. Typical playing everyone but yourself. Explains why Reagan was shot at in the beginning.
Overally is good. But it hasn't got anything special. Great thing was ice cubes low rider
But not "dumb" in a purposefully insulting way. "Dumb" as in it feels like it was made by a child. Everything is incredibly obvious, on the nose, cheesy and you can see it coming from a mile away. This movie doesn't do subtle, or thoughtful, or anything really. It honestly feels like something a 6th grader would make. At first I was bored, then I was angry and by the time the end credits rolled I was laughing out loud at how silly it is. Halfway through I gave up on the promise of any story and just sort of stick out to see who gets the bullet as it really seemed that's the only way this movie could've ended.You want to add 7 points to that because of the real issues and human tragedies it deals with? Feel free to do so. But theme aside, this is a surprisingly poor movie.
This is a very interesting movie from the 90s. The story is well develop and so as the characters. I'm glad I own it. This is the underrated gem from the 90s. I have a friend who doesn't like this movie but it's just opinions like everyone think differently. This movie deserve a watch, get it on Blu Ray or DVD if you really enjoy this film as I do.Score: 10.5/10
