It seems as box-fresh as a pair of white high-tops and as powerful and funny today as it was in 1991.

It feels like it should be cheesy and manipulative, but the utter sincerity lifts it immeasurable.

The violence in Boyz N the Hood is neither gratuitous nor melodramatic; its aftermath is shattering. Singleton's powerhouse movie has the impact of a stun gun.

Powerful, old-school look at life surrounded by violence.

Like a jazz ensemble, Singleton and his actors slowly involve us in an almost sensual melange of moods, images and situations that take us inside the ghetto in a way mainstream films almost never do.

Boyz N the Hood is a passionate drama shot with fluency and style, a study of what amounts to life during wartime, with people grimly used to gunfire and helicopters thudding overhead.

An absorbing, smartly made dramatic encyclopedia of problems and ethics in the black community, 1991.

Singleton sometimes displays his youthful inexperience in melodramatic emphasis and rhetorical flourishes, but he has created a deeply troubling film about responsibility.

It's always risky to proclaim a new force in film based upon just one film, but Boyz N the Hood is good enough to suggest that John Singleton is going to be a major player for a long time.

Even in its warmest moments, there is a fearful chill in this hood's air. And on the hearts of its boyz.
