Plot Summary:
|
John Singleton's portrayal of social problems in inner-borough Los Angeles takes the form of a fib of three friends growing up together 'in the 'hood.' Half-brothers Doughboy and Ricky Baker are foils for each other's personality, presenting very different approaches to the tough lives they face. Ricky is the 'All-American' athlete, looking to win a football training to USC and seeks salvation through sports, while 'Dough' succumbs to the violence, alcohol, and crime surrounding him in his environment, but maintains a strong tail of self-respect and code of honor. Between these two is their r... oomie Tre, who is lucky to have a shepherd, 'Furious' Styles, to coach him to compel ought to the strength of character to do what is right and to each time take responsibility for his actions.
