The most stunning feature debut in the new African-American cinema, even more so than Boyz N the Hood to which the coming-of age feature bears thematic resemblance.

Stylistically the film is brilliant, making repeat viewings highly appealing.

Um retrato impiedoso (e real) de uma sociedade preconceituosa, injusta e massacrante que transforma jovens em ameaças e que, infelizmente, é encontrada em todo o mundo.

Regrettably, the Hughes brothers' first feature is a compendium of clichés.

Don't let the silly styling of the title put you off; this is a powerful, convincing, and terrifying look at teenage crime in contemporary Watts.

If Menace II Society is terrific on ambiance, it is considerably less successful in revealing character.

Nothing the Hughes brothers have done in their videos for Tone Loc, Tupac Shakur and others prepares you for the controlled intensity and maturity they bring to their stunning feature debut.

Fierce, violent and searing in its observation, the film makes previous excursions seem like a stroll through the park.

Bleak, brilliant, and unsparing: a full-scale vision of the madness that is tearing up the black inner city.
