Take a bow Hugh brother's. A wonderful hood movie and will be remembered for years. It's been 16 years and it still won't be topped in " A Gangster Movie" category. And it still has the same effect to consumers who watch this movie. The acting is strong and powerful, the storyline is simple just like all the other Hood movies, but it doesn't take anything away from it. Pure Brilliance and a great adaptation to life in the ghetto and how it is to survive in the 90's. They just don't make films like Menace II society anymore. A great matching title too, Pretty much gives you an idea of the movie. The movie is not perfect it does die after watching it 1 2 many times. It's really nothing more to say about the film. It's self explanatory once you watch it.

This is definetley one of my top favorite movies! If you can get by the excessive violence and swearing then you'll love it (but that's what makes it so realistic!) I've seen this movie several times on IFC and I wish that they'd air it more! They aired it a few times a few months back and I love it! There's good characters, good actors, good plots...it's a VERY good movie! -SPOILERS- It starts off with two guys in a grocery store and one of them guns down the store owners (the man made a comment about his mother, "I feel sorry for your mothers." and then he also guns down the woman in the back after telling her to shut up and she didn't) and they steal the security camera tape. That's the main plot and their lives over the summer. The ending is kinds sad, though... My description is probably off since I sorta forgot some of it...lol I give it a 10 outta 10!

The central character, Caine (Turner) is unsure of where his head lies, caught between the need to make a better life for himself while remaining loyal to the street. In a jaw-dropping opening sequence Caine and his psychotic homie O-Dog (Tate) are caught on a security camera blasting a shopkeeper foolish enough to talk smack at them - the film studies the tragic way in which the patterns of violence are mirrored from generation to generation. Here kids are taught to hold a gun before they can ride a bike. The acting is like a whiplash, hard and gritty, yet, especially with Turner's floundering Caine, touching upon a fierce emotional core while the soundtrack blares out banging hip hop to the stomach-pounding beat of gunfire. The Hughes pack more punch into their raw 97 minutes than a catalogue of Spike Lee or John Singleton movies.

Having waited decades to see this film as I knew it could not stand up to Singleton's masterpiece, I am again disappointed in the Hughes brother an attempt at cinema. As always, the writing is terrible and the few decent scenes of acting are only to be found with Khandi, Samuel and Mr. Duke. I've never understood the attraction to this film other than moron who wanted to be hoods and as an adult it does not resonate one iota with reality or cinematic grandeur. Everything these brothers do looks like they were most influenced by blacksplotation, but they have no sense of humor, levity or self-awareness.
