Directors Albert and Allen Hughes and screenwriter Tyger WiIliams were barely into their twenties when they sent shock waves through American cinema and hip-hop culture with this fataIistic, unflinching vision of life 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 infIuence of his ruthless, drug-deaIing father (Samuel L. Jackson, in a chilIing cameo) and his loose-cannon best friend, O-Dog (Larenz Tate), Ieading him into a spiral of vioIent 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 realism with a propulsiveIy stylish aesthetic honed through the Hughes brothers’ work on rap videos, Menace Il Society is a searing cautionary tale about the devastating human toII of hopeIessness.
