Who - one wonders - is F. Gary Gray? And why is this film so long? An hour in, it already felt too long. It's one of those films - not like Any Human Heart...
And - to fuel the current Oscar/black debate - I'd have to say that Paul Giamatti is the best actor in this version of the NWA rap confluence, which features O'Shea Jackson Jr. (Cube), Corey Hawkins (Dre), Jason Mitchell (E).
The girls don't get much of a look-in, no-siree. (Unless you count the scanty clad type.)
Shot in drab tones by Matthew Libatique in widescreen.
The genuine response to the LA police harassment, early angry lyrics (when Q isn't talking over them), is there. Loved seeing the mini-Moog again.
