Summary |
Director John Singleton's portrayal of social problems in inner-city Los Angeles takes the form of a tale 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 scholarship 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 sense of pride and code of honour. (Movie, 1991) |
