- Critics' reviews
-
-
"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"
-
As well-directed a film as you'll see from America this year, an unsentimental and yet completely involving story"
-
"Bleak, brilliant, and unsparing"
-
"Though brilliant, Menace II Society is definitely a film to guard yourself against (...) At times, the picture takes on the scary you-are-there verisimilitude of a tabloid-TV show."
-
"Fierce, violent and searing in its observation, the film makes previous excursions seem like a stroll through the park"
-
"'Menace II Society' has a devastating impact. Few films possess the power to keep an audience sitting in stunned silence after the end credits begin rolling, but this is one of them"
-
"More acutely than any movie before, it gives cinematic expression to the hot-tempered, defiantly nihilistic ethos that ignites gangster rap"
-
"As uncomfortable as it is to have your nose shoved in this nightmare, its unforgettable in its violent lyricism and the bloody power of its message."
