Straight Outta Compton (2015) Production Budget: 28,000,000 (worldwide box office is 7.2 times production budget) Theater counts: 2,757 opening theaters/. Despite this, therefore, a very nice way to learn about this particular story, thanks to solid performances and intriguing musical numbers, maybe a bit too much simplified, but still able to perfectly break through the boundaries of any social oppression and barrier, halfway between the darkness and the light of fame. Straight Outta Compton is a powerful film about the rise of the music group NWA and gangster rap. Straight Outta Compton - Unrated Directors Cut tells the true story of how five young cultural rebels - armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent - stood up to the authorities. Gray's direction is very good, but a bit wobbly, failing to balance perfectly, even without burying anything, a more standard style with more articulated and dynamic shots, especially during musical numbers that make the most of the power of this great music that made history, both inside and outside the musical environment, and showing the consequences of the excesses experienced by the group quite well.
