About this movie

Straight Outta Compton - Unrated Director's Cut tells the true story of how five young 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.

This was absolutely historically inaccurate. They left out soooo much. The fact that Ice Cubes kid got so much praise for his performance is laughable. Eazy E was misrepresented. He was a hard mothafucker and got portrayed soft. If you know NWA history then you know this film is crap. If you're not then you love this movie cause you're probably white and feel like you owe something to the black community so you say this is the best movie ever. This movie was alright.

Loved it, quite an education for me, really got into the music and want more. Made me go check on the cast or if it was really them, and compare, and was impressed by the likenesses portrayed. A good movie makes me want to explore it more and this sure did. i felt it. However, the streaming of it i experienced totally sucked. This was the very first time i paid to stream a movie, and the stream was lousy fits and stops and starts. I've complained somewhere -we'll see if google play comps me one to try to make my experience good.

The review made this movie look like it would show more of the history. Also more of the music they were famous for. And the trials, plus tribulations that occurred along the. It left out so much. I expected too much.
