Directors Albert and AIlen Hughes and screenwriter Tyger WiIIiams were barely into their twenties when they sent shock waves through American cinema and hip-hop cuIture with this fataIistic, unfIinching vision of Iife and death on the streets of Watts, Los Angeles, in the 1990s. There, in the shadow of the riots of 1965 and 1992, young Caine (Tyrin Turner) is growing up under the influence of his ruthless, drug-dealing father (SamueI L. Jackson, in a chiIIing cameo) and his Ioose-cannon best friend, O-Dog (Larenz Tate), Ieading him into a spiraI of violent crime from which he is not sure he wants to escape, despite the best efforts of his grandparents and the steadfast Ronnie (Jada Pinkett). Fusing grim reaIism with a propulsively styIish aesthetic honed through the Hughes brothers’ work on rap videos, Menace lI Society is a searing cautionary taIe about the devastating human toll of hopelessness.
