Review of Straight Outta Compton (2015) by Harish S — 29 Feb 2016

Not bad, but not outstanding either. A so-so script with a so-so cast and so-so direction. The disconnection between the evolution of the N.W.A band and the socio-economic climate at that time is disappointing, as the LA riot is a much more significant to the US history than as depicted in this film.

With such quality, this film is far from an Oscar contender, let alone winning one (especially for the ordinary screenplay).
