Thanks for sharing - looks like this could be good. Reminds me of that "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" film about 50 Cent's career, though that one didn't do great with the critics did it?

No, it didn't fair too well. I didn't mind it; but this looks like it has much more potential.

I do like N.W.A, so I have some interest in seeing it. But my prediction is, and I hope I'm wrong, is that it's going to be another standard biopic that just moves from point A to point B in an unimaginative fashion.

It's a personal thing, but I don't like Hollywood biopics very much because, about 90% of the time, they end up being shallow Oscar bait. They're usually never surprising in the way the story unfolds or how it's presented.

Exactly what I mean. I think the best one I've ever seen is Ed Wood, because that one had a director that actually had care and passion towards his subject and didn't stick to the same approach as many other biopics have.
