Let’s just get it out of the way up front — it’s a cool-ass name, O.K.? Having either that first or last name anywhere in your name would automatically make you significantly more awesome. The two together? Forget about it. All that aside, though, Furious Styles (Laurence Fishburne) is one of the great movie fathers. Seemingly the only older black male in Compton, Calif., Furious is determined to raise his son Tre (Cuba Gooding Jr.) correctly. Stern but concerned, firm but caring, Furious imparts lessons about sex, drugs, violence, gentrification and the plight of the young black man in America. As befits his name, he has an anger inside him, a red-hot desire to push his son down the righteous path.
