Boyz n the Hood (1991)

What a powerful film, solid acting from start to finish. Lawrence Fishburne, Gooding and Ice Cube really put on an excellent performance and give this movie a backbone and push it in the right direction.

Boyz n the Hood (1991)

In 2012, this movie seems derivative and cliche-filled. Then you realise this was ground-breaking subject matter in 1991. Singleton does a great job of bringing the Hood to the masses, although you know from the start Cuba Gooding Jr. isn't actually going to shoot anyone.
