Bleak, brilliant, and unsparing: a full-scale vision of the madness that is tearing up the black inner city.

Entertainment Weekly
...A very flashy debut....Crackling ensemble acting...
New York Times
Regrettably, the Hughes brothers' first feature is a compendium of clichés.

Time Out
Along with BOYZ N THE HOOD, this marks the film world's awakening to a dark period of gang violence in early-'90s LA.
Uncut
Don't let the silly styling of the title put you off; this is a powerful, convincing, and terrifying look at teenage crime in contemporary Watts.

Chicago Reader
The gang life, with its guns and crack, casual obscenity and misogyny, is expertly caught, but the Hugheses don't impose their own vision. We're left with the same old cliches and carnage.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
If Menace II Society is terrific on ambiance, it is considerably less successful in revealing character.
New York Times
Product Description:
Vivid documentary-like anecdotes focusing on a homeboy who is a sociopathic killer and another who tells the story of how their parents' lives also fed the cycle of drug use, casual homicide and monstrous, mind-numbing violence.
Product Description:
The place is Watts, but it could be any urban area blighted by guns and poverty. The person is 18-year-old Caine, but he could be any young man in the ’hood. The movie could only be Menace II Society, the bravura, uncompromising look at Caine’s spiral – from missed opportunities to inescapable missteps – into the inner-city cycle of hate and death. The filmmaking duo The Hughes Brothers (Dead Presidents, From Hell) made their feature debut with this urgent instant classic now available in a compelling Extended Director’s Cut. The actors (including Tyrin Turner, Larenz Tate and Jada Pinkett) electrify. The pace sears. And Menace II Society hits with an emotional impact that will leave you stunned.
