Straight Outta Compton
TrailerIn the year 1986, friends Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, DJ Yella and MC Ren form N.W.A under Eazy-E';s Ruthless Records. After a successful first single with Eazy-E';s Boyz-n-the-Hood, music manager Jerry Heller sees the potential in the group and Eazy-E hires him to be their manager. 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.Actors: OShea Jackson Jr., Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, Neil Brown Jr., Aldis Hodge, Marlon Yates Jr., R.

Critic Reviews of "Straight Outta Compton"
New YorkerAugust 24, 2015The core of the story is business, the object is power, and the quirks of desire and twists of the unconscious are given no place in the struggle-which the movie sharply carries ahead to the present day.
ChristyLemire.comAugust 21, 2015It's very easy to imagine sing-along showings cropping up for years to come.
Chicago ReaderAugust 20, 2015This movie about a group of risk-takers should have taken more risks itself.
New York Magazine/VultureAugust 15, 2015Straight Outta Compton aims to cross cultures and sanctify the wisdom of the street-to make a universal underdog story. It succeeds on a visceral level.
GrantlandAugust 14, 2015Straight Outta Compton is so beholden to the appeasement of so many artists and legacies and estates that none of it coheres as a movie.
SlateAugust 14, 2015While no one will mistake this for a protest film-there are too many pool parties-the movie's portrait of a militarized police force all too eager to assault young black men can't help but resonate in our own moment.
Shadow and ActApril 12, 2017The film is remarkable because of how deeply it will resonate with today's audience.
National Newspaper Publishers AssociationMarch 15, 2017This is a monster film. You will walk out feeling like you have been entertained, educated and emotionally fulfilled. Eight months into the year 2015, and this is the only perfect film that has hit the theaters. This is it.
Seanax.comAugust 13, 2016It's a musical biopic in an urban warzone and we see how the culture of gangs and drugs and poverty and simmering racial conflicts shaped the group's angry message.
Japan TimesJune 20, 2016Straight Outta Compton swears to tell the truth, the half-truth, and nothing but the, uh... you know the rest.
Movie TalkJune 17, 2016Straight Outta Compton is at its most compelling when the band's adversaries are the authorities... But the film's energy level noticeably sags in the second half when the band are at odds with each other.
Baltimore MagazineJune 12, 2016The backdrop of Rodney King-era L.A and the realness and rawness of N.W.A.'s music, not to mention the passionate and heartfelt performances of the film's three young leads gives the film an undeniable power.
