Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: If Menace II Society is terrific on ambiance, it is considerably less successful in revealing character.
Fresh: Bleak, brilliant, and unsparing: a full-scale vision of the madness that is tearing up the black inner city.
Fresh: Nothing the Hughes brothers have done in their videos for Tone Loc, Tupac Shakur and others prepares you for the controlled intensity and maturity they bring to their stunning feature debut.
Fresh: Fierce, violent and searing in its observation, the film makes previous excursions seem like a stroll through the park.
Customer Reviews
Great Movie
Hughes brothers nailed it. Good movie when it came out. Still good.
Great
Amazing movie .
Awesome !!!!!!!
I saw this back in 97 and it was great, and still holds to the test of time. Lorenz Tate was awesome in this movie. If you've never seen this, by all means rent / buy it. This blows away Boys in the Hood and Colors !
