Leave your thoughts about South Central.
| Washington PostRita KempleySouth Central covers some of the same ground as Boyz N the Hood, but certainly there's nothing wrong with reiterating its positive message for black sons and fathers. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanWhatever its melodramatic shortcomings, South Central offers a wrenching view of modern youth-gang violence by demonstrating, with desperate candor, that the civilized alternatives are fast disappearing. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonA bare-bones outline ignores the performances, the stirring music, the close-in camerawork and the direction of Steve Anderson. The emotional punch and atmosphere of the movie soar through any hokiness. Plummer's search for the son he never saw grow up becomes a powerful odyssey. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis movie, like Boyz N the Hood, is uncompromising in its view of how things work in a neighborhood like South Central. It was made before the Los Angeles riots in April, 1992, but it provides a stark picture of the anger that was waiting to boil over. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrLow on directorial inspiration, but more relevant and resonant than much of the big-budget white trash churned out by Hollywood. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldDespite its good performances--Minns, Lumbly, Shelby and Best, as well as Plummer--South Central lacks a certain juice, heat and life. It doesn’t boil with the energy you’d expect from a gang picture, and it doesn’t have the density or rich atmosphere of a Boyz N the Hood, Do the Right Thing or New Jack City. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinSouth-Central plays more like an exploitative potboiler than a civics lesson. Only late in the film, thanks to a sobering of tone and Mr. Plummer's credible performance, does the story develop any real impact. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittLargely, real emotions are substituted here by people swearing and trying to kill each other, which adds up to a shamefully dehumanising piece of work. |
| User Reviewchris rPOWERFUL, A MAN'S JOURNEY THRU HIS LIFE IS CHANGED WHEN HE REALIZES HIS SON MAY FOLLOW HIS FOOTSTEPS AND DECIDES TO ALTAR HIS PATH. |
| User ReviewMary WI like this movie because it has a meaning to it and i watc it with my sons. |
