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

Rating: - "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.

Rating: - 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.
Rating: - Juice
I have seen Juice many times and it is still as powerful as the first time. Bishop, Quincy (Q), Raheem and Eric (Steel) are four very different friends looking for respect, they call it juice. They skip school and spend their days hustling at the pool hall and hiding from truant officers. Q wants to be a DJ and get out, Raheem is the teenage father trying to do the right thing, Steel is the quiet one who always goes along with everything, and Bishop is the thug who wants to stick up a local grocer they have tangled with. It turns ugly when the power goes to Bishop's head and the friends find out ... Read More
Rating: - Juice
One of the first and best gang movies, back at 90's, with Tupac alive and Dr House first assistant in the cast. Great Movie.
