John Singleton, the director of Boyz N the hood, sets a trend for other African American crime films. Jason Fraley critiques John Singleton and brings to light the success John Singleton has done to inform viewers about the African American community and the gangster crime as a genre. “The plot may feel predictable, where you can guess which characters are going to die. But this is only because it’s been repeated by countless imitators: Juice (1992), South Central (1992), Menace II Society (1993), Poetic Justice (1993), Dangerous Minds (1995), Friday (1995) and the Wayans Brothers’ spoof, Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1996)” (Fraley). John Singleton motivated all of these movies to use gangster crime that depict real live events. One of the first directors to do a crime film with gangster activities was D.W. Griffiths with the film the Musketeers of Pig Alley (1912). The Musketeers establishes a model for the crime genre by focusing on gang violence, sharp thugs, and corrupt police officers. Francis Ford Coppola reinvented the image of gangsters in his film The Godfathers in 1972. John Singleton, D.W Griffiths and Francis Ford Coppola are a couple of the directors who made a change and introduced style and motive into the crime genre.
