I had slept in this movie for far too long. A very real take on a very real problem that exists even today.

Coming of age and the futility of ghetto life. Deep messages, great performances and some memorable one-liners.

Guns straight for the heart and leaves you thinking for a long time. Boyz n the Hood can't be faulted for it's unforgiving realism.

Incredibly powerful film. As poignant and as relevant today as it was back when it was made.
