Menace II Society (Blu-ray) is the raw, unflinching debut from Allen and Albert Hughes, a defining entry in 1990s American cinema. Originally released in 1993, the film offers a stark and powerful portrayal of life in South Central Los Angeles through the eyes of Caine, a teenager caught between hope and the harsh reality of violence, poverty, and systemic oppression.
