Entertainment Reviews:
...Groundbreaking...
Rolling Stone
Rating: 4/5 --
Intense '90s film about oppression has violence, drugs.

Common Sense Media
Rating: 2.5/5 --
If Menace II Society is terrific on ambiance, it is considerably less successful in revealing character.
New York Times
...As well-directed a film as you'll see from America this year, an unsentimental and yet completely involving story of a young man who cannot see a way around his fate...
Chicago Sun-Times
...A very flashy debut....Crackling ensemble acting...
New York Times
Regrettably, the Hughes brothers' first feature is a compendium of clichés.

Time Out
Fierce, violent and searing in its observation, the film makes previous excursions seem like a stroll through the park.
Variety
Product Description:
Vivid documentary-like anecdotes focusing on a homeboy who is a sociopathic killer and another who tells the story of how their parents' lives also fed the cycle of drug use, casual homicide and monstrous, mind-numbing violence.
Product Description:
The place is Watts, but it could be any urban area blighted by guns and poverty. The person is 18-year-old Caine, but he could be any young man in the ’hood. The movie could only be Menace II Society, the bravura, uncompromising look at Caine’s spiral – from missed opportunities to inescapable missteps – into the inner-city cycle of hate and death. The filmmaking duo The Hughes Brothers (Dead Presidents, From Hell) made their feature debut with this urgent instant classic now available in a compelling Extended Director’s Cut. The actors (including Tyrin Turner, Larenz Tate and Jada Pinkett) electrify. The pace sears. And Menace II Society hits with an emotional impact that will leave you stunned.
