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

Customer Reviews

"I Got Da' Juice!"
Man this movie was the JOINT when it came out! Anyway, great movie with the late Tupac as a crazy cat running around shooting everyone for the "Juice" in the neighborhood. I suggest you pick it up if you are considering it. Order through Amazon and you know it will come to the front door on time and in great condition. Enjoy..NEOSOUL06.

Classic great movie
Thisis an excellent movie. Tupac is very good. This movie is a classic.

One of my many classics
Juice is a classic film about four friends and the chocies they make and the consquences. The cast all give memorable performances in particular Tupac Shakur as Bishop. The film also features a young Omar Epps. The soundtrack is also one of the best soundtracks ever made for a hip hop film.
