DVD. Feature film. dir. by Allen & Albert Hughes. 104 min. Rated R. Dolby dig. Full frame & widescreen. Sound in Engl . & French. Subtitled in Engl., French, & Spanish. CC. Feat urette, orig. theatrical trailer, star hilites fr. 6 other New Line films. 5.1 Surround Sound. When Caine and O-Dog, two handsome boyz-from-the-hood, breeze into a Korean grocery, the anxious grocer and his watchful wife find their imposing presence troubling. Resentful of the sharp-eyed survelliance and air of suspicion around them, Caine and O-Dog yell epithets at the mom-and-pop owners. Angered by the shouting match and a remark about his mother, trigger-happy O-Dog shoots the grocers. On his way out, Caine grabs the videotape from the store's security camera. Back in the 'hood, O-Dog makes a boastful ritual of showing the tape to friends who find his recklessness funnier than amateur night at the Apollo. But it's just a matter of time before the cops catch up with Caine and O-Dog, especially since Caine's fingerprints were on the 40-ounce bottle he dropped at the scene of the crime. Vivid documentary-like anecdotes focusing on a homeboy who is a sociopathic killer and another who tells the story of how their parents' lives also fed the cycle of drug use, casual homicide and monstrous, mind-numbing violence. Rated MPAA R, running time 97 minutes.
Rated BBFC 18 by the British Board of Film Classification.

Menace II Society Reviews: "...A very flashy debut....Crackling ensemble acting..."
-- Stephen Holden, New York Times "...Groundbreaking..."-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone "...Fierce, violent and searing in its observation, the film makes all previous excursions seem like a walk in the park....There is a poetry to the images that is immediate and visceral..."
-- Leonard Klady, Variety "...As well-directed a film as you'll see from America this year, an unsentimental and yet completely involving story of a young man who cannot see a way around his fate..."
-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "Along with BOYZ N THE HOOD, this marks the film world's awakening to a dark period of gang violence in early-'90s LA."
