I liked the original but I have to say I liked this film better. My hat's off to Marcus Spencer. The man has some kind of crazy talent for being able to wear so many hats. A big thumbs up for me, that's for sure!

Nonsense

The first Straight Outta Oakland was a low budget film about four youths taking different paths to get out of a bad environment. The actors are all amateurs, and while it wasn't a great film, it at least had a cogent storyline one could follow. This film has no connection aside from many of the same actors (in different roles, in a different storyline altogether). The major problem is the storyline makes little sense and is hard to follow. The movie is about a guy who starts dealing a new drug called "milk" and ends up in a rivalry with another drug dealer. Many of the main actors give good performances given their lack of experience, particularly Phaethon Brown as a very over the top dealer named Cecil. Unfortunately, the storyline is quite hard to follow and ultimately makes little sense.
