Review of Boyz n the Hood (1991) by Mark L — 15 Apr 2018

But only a real man can raise his children..

Boyz N The Hood.

Among many heartfelt sequences, the key in here that binds it all is a father and son's relationship that is portrayed with equal innocence as it was written, which is clearly visible in here. John Singleton's amazing writing and brilliant execution skills brings out more from character's perspective that goes deep into it whilst still playing on surface. Cuba Gooding Jr. is doing some of his best work in here but the real game changer is Lawrence Fishburne as a soothing and resolved father in this convoluted world. Boyz N The Hood takes it lightly in its first half and builds up this character driven feature in its second one before the intensity increases and stakes grows bigger than usual (which is projected smartly) in its stunning final act.
