Straight Out of Compton

An unlikely rags-to-riches story from the entertainment industry, "Straight Outta Compton" was actually pretty entertaining, even with not enough grey (choosing to go mostly black-white in the interpretation of events presented in the film) for some of the plot points and character development for the core characters from the group NWA.

The performances were entertaining, the inter-personal dynamics were engaging. And the pacing of the film was solid, especially for a 2.5 hours film.

I give it 3 stars, or a grade of B.
