Hello All,
Forgive the lateness, I would’ve posted this last night but I was out until three am. Today we are tackling the genre of film known as the docudrama. For those who don’t know, a docudrama is a dramatic telling of true events, this time chronicling the rise and fall of N.W.A. So how does the film do?
Plot Summary - The film chronicles the rise and fall of rap group N.W.A, from their early days living in Compton, their rise to fame and their fallout and everything that happened in between.
Pros - The film is well shot, the story is well told, and everyone involved is clearly giving it their all. The music is definitely good.
Cons - There a couple of scenes I thought didn’t really contribute much to the story.
Final Score - 9/10
If this seems like a brief review, I apologize, I don’t know much about hip hop so I'm coming at this as a movie geek, and Straight Outta Compton is a really good movie, and it’s really informative for those who may not know the story, but it didn’t really hit me as hard as a it might a hip hop fan.
I’m gonna try for a Thursday night review, of what I don’t know yet, might do another in between. Why not check out my other reviews while you wait?
Until then, I’ll see you folks at the movies.
