Great movie at a bargain price. One of my favorites..

Hey this movie is gd up from the feet up so watch it

Great purchase and the movie was a great as well..

Been looking for this on bluray for some time now.

I used to love this movie growing up. It doesn’t tell a positive story for all of the characters but it does give a glimpse of what it is like to grow up in the hood.

SYNOPSIS: Tre (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is sent to live with his father, Furious Styles (Larry Fishburne), in tough South Central Los Angeles. Although his hard-nosed father instills proper values and respect in him, and his devout girlfriend Brandi (Nia Long) teaches him about faith, Tre's friends Doughboy (Ice Cube) and Ricky (Morris Chestnut) don't have the same kind of support and are drawn into the neighborhood's booming drug and gang culture, with increasingly tragic results. Very strong performances from the cast. Used to own this great film on VHS and DVD. Spent far less on this Blu-ray compared to what I did for the previous formats I bought it on! Be sure to check out the rest of John Singleton's filmography.

The late John Singleton's Oscar-nominated Boyz n the Hood upgrades to 4K UHD Blu-ray. This story of friends living in and trying to survive in South Central L.A. is just as searingly poignant and often gut-wrenching today as it was in 1991. The performances are pitch-perfect and Sony gives this film a worthwhile upgrade. Featuring a native 4K HDR10 presentation with a new Dolby Atmos audio track, the film looks and sounds better than ever worthy of the upgrade.

The movie really brought South Central L.A. home to many of us who had no idea what was happening. I see the movie as a beacon during the time it came out and today. It was educating on the problems of the poor. Some who live looking at a future and those who live in day to day mode. It addresses themes like one parent households, drugs and fast money, setting boundaries, what is manhood?, community vs. Police, gang culture, street education vs. Parental wisdom and gentrification. All of these issues are playing out now in many peoples lives today.

A story about living in your neighborhood with corruption in your streets and surving day to day. Hoping to get out one day. Good.

Boyz In The Hood is still a powerful drama set within the ghettos of Los Angeles during the 90's. A riveting, coming of age story that is engaging, heartbreaking, and expresses a truth that is relevant even today. As for this edition, it is a beautiful graffiti case that represents the film as well as being loaded with a good amount of featurettes, commentary with director John Singleton, and music videos based on the great soundtrack from the film. A great purchase and a timeless classic of transitioning from young adult to manhood as well as being stuck between progressing and regressing as human beings.

Oldie but goodie here. One of the good classics that you can watch over and over again

its a pretty good transfer over to bluray and sounds nice on my receiver setup

This movie is very entertaining. Definitely grab it for cheap if you can.

Good movie and definitely an eye opener. A classic for sure!

Boyz 'N the Hood has withstood the test of time, and held up well as a critically acclaimed coming-of-age story in East LA. Along with some of Spike Lee's films, it helped define a new genre in American cinema. This 4K release looks and sounds fantastic in UltraHD, and the steelbook packaging stands up better than the typical cheap plastic. Highly recommended.

Good movie good story great action well directed Good violence

This was an exciting title to see released on 4K; while the steelbook itself uses the same pop cover art as the limited edition steelbook release of the blu-ray the gold/black lining was a welcoming change to the image, and of course, the results were amazing; a great addition to anyone's collection, highly recommended with a great deal of special features for any avid fan.

This classic paved the way, along with Spike Lee's films, for African American film makers. It was john Singleton's and his cast's & crew's milestone movie of life in LA in the early 90s, centering on the legendary rivalry between the bloods & the crips. Stirring, creative, violent beneath the calm surface. Highly recommended. I hadn't seen since it was first released, and had forgotten how great it was. And still is.

Great movie that can show the urban area in Los Angeles. Coincidently, Lloyd Avery II died in prison after he was strangled and struck on the head by Kevin Roby in 2005.Two others characters were Dedrick D. Gobert who was fatally shot during a fight with several gang members in Mira Loma, California in 1994 and Lexie Bigham died in a car accident in Los Angeles on December 17, 1995. This is so sad in real life.

From story to casting, this film grabs you and never lets go. From the friendships formed in childhood to the threat of gun violence, we follow the lives of young black men from adolescence to adulthood. Some make it, some do not. But what's endearing about the film is how much we care about black lives that truly matter. Shot years before the phrase became popular .. this film is timeless.
