Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

With a good soundtrack and 90's west coast atmosphere, it's one of the referenced examples of "hood film", together with "do the right thing". i think "furious" reflects the main idea of the film. the government tries to destroy unwanted people by forcing them to being uneducated and unemployed. this method will cause to increase violence and terror among these groups. eventually the power will confirm itself and will demand right to intervene.

Boyz N the Hood to me speak from a place that breaths life to the darkness, the soot and grime we want to keep in that very darkness. There is nothing I don't absolutely love about Boyz, and although I happen to be a super fan of Menace II, being that I have never seen anybody do what the Hughes Brothers do with a camera , I mean they do not need a budget, their imagination has imagination, they can get it done. Boyz to me, is the sort of pedagogue from which to learn, it assumes the meritorious titular teacher of the thematic film-making for more than just "lets roll and have some fun". But I came here because , time after time I experience Boyz, I just have to say one thing, Film cannot encapsulate everything that Mr. Singleton is, he is beyond words bearing the ineffable, not only in universal wisdom but in the arts of aesthetics. I would love to read something by Mr. Singleton in a sort of non-linear formless stream of consciousness about everything that is the great John Singleton....

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.

I really liked this movie I would definitely recommend this to my friends. I'm just going to spoil this movie for you guys so I'm just warning you guys to stop reading this if you haven't watched the movie yet. I think the movie is really good but the best part and the most emotional part is the last 20 minutes I'm a guy and I cried and I usually don't cry so that means its a really good movie. Too spoil it for you guys ,Rickie the main character gets shot because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.my favorite scene was at the beginning of the movie when Doughboy said "sorry b***" that part was funny. This movie relates too a young African man trying to get into college for football and leaving his neighborhood but anyhow if you haven't watched this movie you should.
