Straight Outta Compton

Hosted by Joe Morgenstern Aug. 14, 2015 Hollywood
Straight Outta Compton is notable for its omissions as well as its strengths, but that shouldn't be surprising.

Straight Outta Compton is an explosively entertaining biopic about the hip-hop group that brought gangsta rap into the mainstream of popular culture in the 1980's.
