[An] enthralling, energized, 147-minute tribute to N.W.A....[The actors] deliver strong, memorable work that transcends mere imitation.

Rating: 3.5/4 -- There is so much going on in the lyrical wordplay of the music, much deeper than the critics who tend to focus on its violent imagery suggests. Full Review
The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
Jul 5, 2019
Rating: 4/5 -- The movie has inescapable verve, capturing why its subjects mean every bit as much as The Sex Pistols or Rolling Stones. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Straight Outta Compton proves as infectiously entertaining as it is educational thanks to F. Gary Gray's richly textured direction and a thumping soundtrack that confirms rap as the protest music of its time. Full Review

The film is wildly entertaining as the members of N.W.A. go from neighborhood heroes -- their singles blaring from low-rider speakers and corner boom boxes -- to bona fide stars...
Washington Post

Rating: 7/10 -- Gray and screenwriters Jonathan Herman and Andrea Berloff at times feel too handcuffed to the group's well-documented history, breaking up the rhythm of the story to check off a minor, well-documented detail of the journey. Full Review

3 stars out of 5 -- STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON, F. Gary Gray’s sprawling, two-and-a-half hour ode to seminal hip-hop group N.W.A, feels electrifyingly urgent.

Product Description:

Entrenched in the racial tumult of Los Angeles in the mid-1980's, a group of aspiring rappers banded together to revolutionize the global consumption of hip-hop and popular culture. NWA was born out of racial frustration and the disadvantaged economics of their South Central neighborhood. F. Gary Gray directs this biopic about the rise to stardom for the act that earned the moniker of "The World's Most Dangerous Group", featuring Ice Cube's son O'Shea Jackson Jr. playing the role of his father, Corey Hawkins as Dr. Dre, and Jason Mitchell as the late Eazy-E.
