Wonderful film about the gloomy (ghetto) life in the 90s in America. Seen the film so many times now and it doesn't get boring.
Every time I get older I notice small details that impress me or that I understand.
The bond with the father or the caring words of the father. But also the powerlessness and incomprehension of the young (such as Cuba Gooding for example).
Remains a great and timeless film and has a high youth sentiment for me.
4*

Full of clichés and an annoying Ice Cube in that role (which really brings the film down), but otherwise a nice atmospheric film with a beautiful role by Fishburne. You also get the idea that GTA San Andreas has been inspired here. Also strong how constantly police sirens and a helicopter can be heard above that neighborhood. Content is okay, but not very special. It's nice that it's mainly atmosphere and little plot so that you really get a glimpse into that social environment. Visually not very spectacular. 3.5*.
