Product Details


Product Description

From Amazon.com

Spike Lee's longtime cinematographer, Ernest R. Dickerson, made his directorial debut with this violent story about four Harlem teens whose lives are changed when a store robbery goes wrong. The film has been likened to an urban The Wild Bunch, but it is far too artificial for that. With Dickerson's eye, Juice understandably looks great, but at the end of the day it is only a slightly better version of the heavily clichéd crime movies that have artificially dominated perceptions of black cinema in the U.S. in the '90s. Rap fans might enjoy seeing some familiar stars on board, including Queen Latifah and Tupac Shakur. --Tom Keogh

4.0 out of 5 stars You got that much juice?, May 21 2003
This review is from: Juice (Widescreen) (DVD)
A very good movie, but it's just strange.

Quincy(aka Q):He is a local Dj that makes mix tapes for money. When additions for a dj contest, he makes it to the contest. But after his superb performance at the contest, he and his friends decide to do something that will change/End their lives forever.

Bishop:Tupac's debut. Bishop is a tee, that thinks he has all the juice in the world. He only does that in fron of his friends, because someone else would probobly whack him. When they decide, life is bad, and decide to rob a store, Bishop goes from, your best friend, to your worst enemy.

Steel:Fat dude, and the dude that always get's picked on. He's good at videogames, and he really doesn't like fights or guns. But he gets exposed to the violent world after the rob a store.

Rahiem:He's pretty strong, and he always help Bishop, when he's being messed with by Radimas. Rahiem is the kind that trys to keep a positive input in the movie, but his mind changes, when he trys to rob a store with his other friends.

Radimas:Bishop's worst enemy. He always picks on Bishop when he has nothing to do. But when he messes with him after the incident with the store, boy, he wished, he never even spoke to him.

This movie is all about power and respect. But how Bishop becomes mr buddy-buddy, to I wan't to kill everyone is way beyond me. I mean, unless you have problems, or you a completly twisted phsyco, how can that possibly happen. Well, it's still is a positve movie, and if you like Tupac's acting, or a good black movie, go pick this up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid performance by you-know-who..., Jun 23 2001
This review is from: Juice (Widescreen) (DVD)
After 9 years, I finally got to see this movie on DVD. I've always wanted to see it, but you gotta admit that the price is pretty high considering the lack of extra features. I'm not disappointed at all with my purchase, but a few production notes and at least a theatrical trailer would have sufficed.

Anyway, Juice is about four best friends who quickly grow distant after a store robbery goes horribly wrong. It's a pretty involving story with some shocking scenes (though not as violent as they're reputed to be) and Omar Epps is okay in the lead role. But, let's face it. This is Tupac's movie. I didn't expect his debut role to be as powerful as it was! By now, I'm sure all fans have heard his now famous line, "I know I'm crazy. And you know what else? I don't give a ..." Truer words were never spoken about a movie antagonist. His character (Bishop) went absolutely nuts. I'm rambling, I know. But if you've seen the film then you understand why. Aside from Gridlock'd, this is Tupac's best performance.

So if you're a collector of Tupac material, pick the DVD up. Like I said, it ain't cheap, but it's worth it. And even if you don't like Tupac, it's still a very good movie.
