Recensione in evidenza
Tre is sent by his mother to go back into `da hood' to live with his father to `become a man'. He hooks back up with his friends - loser gangbanger Doughboy and athletic college hopeful Rick. Tre finds that the hood is full of traps for the young men therein and must decide how he wants to live his life with guidance and hindrance from his father and his friends.
It's hard to remember now, but this film was the one that created a series of copies and spoofs, some of which were better or more hard hitting, but they all suffered because they held to cliches that this film created. I.e. the babyfather trap, the college kid having his dreams crushed etc. The plot now suffers because we know it is all a cliché - but with fresh eyes it is powerful and realistic for many. Singleton may be a flash in the pan but this was his flash and he directs well - only occasionally going OTT dramatically with slowmo etc.
The young cast are all very good. Gooding Jr delivers a good, if naïve performance and Ice Cube proves that not all rappers have to be rubbish actors in poor `comedies'. Fishburne is as powerful as ever in a small role but Angela Bassett has little to do with her small role. Long is one of my favourite actresses and she's really good here. Many of the cast do fall into caricatures but it's best to ignore that as much as you can.
Overall a great film that suffers now because it has been copied so much that it looks like a cliché itself. However with fresh eyes this is a powerful film with only a few weaknesses.
