Straight Outta Compton

A gripping, intense, factually based, well-acted, 147-minute biopic about five N.W.A. (aka Ni**ers with Attitude) rappers, including Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson Jr.), Andrew ‘Dr. Dre' Young (Corey Hawkins), Eric ‘Eazy-E' Wright (Jason Mitchell), Dj Yella (Neil Brown Jr.), and MC Ren (Aldis Hodge), who rise above their violent, drug-fueled neighborhood in Compton, Calif., to start the hip-hop music craze in 1986 with the help of crooked, sleazy manager Jerry Heller (Paul Giamatti).
