Four young Harlem friends spend their time hanging out and looking for power and respect, called juice. It all goes wrong when they pull an armed robbery.
Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: R
Release Date: 29-DEC-2004
Media Type: DVD
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

- Must Have...
- If you're into urban dramas, this is definitely a must have for your collection! I am a huge fan of Tupac Shakur's work, and his performance in this film was great. Also, Omar Epps (who's gone on to be a major Black Film star) has the opposite leading role. As always, can't beat the price. The quality was just like new. I'd buy… More reviews
- Juuce !!!!!!!!!!
- the best 2Pac movie yet !
and salute to DJ Scratch from EPMD for all the cuts & scratches in the movie. More reviews
- Gangster
- I remember watching this movie at a young age but it always stuck in my mind. So I ordered it and it was better than I remembered. It's definitely one of the most "gangster" and just plain ruthless movies I've ever seen... In my opinion anyway. R.I.P Tupac! More reviews
- " You got the Juice Now"
- Hood Classic, I watch this movie every chance I get and I repeat every line of this movie. I have to say the best part in the movie is when Que and Bishop are in the school having a heated words. The 90's had some of the best movies and Juice is one of the best movies out there. More reviews
- Juice-- Now you got the Juice.
- Excellent Acting By 2pac, downright scary, In this Gritty Street Drama.
Movie is somewhat a Moral lesson, Quite Ironic considering. Teaches that power is nothing and you can be touched. More reviews
