The Straight Outta Compton trailer actually looks pretty good

Hood films can be hard to do well. Remember the string of movies that came out back in the 90s, after Boyz n the Hood and Menace II Society blew up? There were lots of imitators, but most weren’t great. We were therefore understandably skeptical about the long-awaited NWA flick, but judging from the trailer and the slick intro from Dr Dre and Ice Cube, it might actually be half decent. Think New Jersey Drive, rather than Jason’s Lyric. Peep the trailer below, and make sure you go watch it when it hits cinemas later this year.
