Review of Boyz n the Hood (1991) by Patrick H — 17 Jun 2009
Singleton's first film is also the only great one he ever made. Lawrence Fishburne is the real breakout star here, though Ice Cube shows he can act and Cuba Gooding Jr. is solid as well, causing one to wonder why both those guys ended up in crap like "Are we There Yet" and everything Gooding has done since Jerry "Maguire".
Still, this tale of life in South Central LA is well told, and the solid script and strong acting make this something special.
