'John Singleton's Hood Trilogy' Gets Criterion Collection Release

'John Singleton's Hood Trilogy' (Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice, and Baby Boy) gets a new Criterion Collection Blu-ray and 4K release: Here's how to find, shop, and buy the box set online.

This Neo-#Noir starts out slowly, but once it is up to speed in the third act it never slows down.

Everything about it is classic noir: everyone’s out for themselves, no one really has morals, and there’s even a ‘hard G’ in Los Angeles.

Sex, money, gutter-living; it’s all here, and presented with a wonderful script and performances.

Highly recommended.
