This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreIt's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

The movie Juice released in 1992 was directed by Ernest Dickerson and cast four major actors which are Tupac Shakur, Omar Epps, Jermaine Hopkins, and Khalil Kain. This thriller is rated R and focuses on the life of four inner city young adult males. This movie was relevant in 1992 and is still very relevant in 2016 it portrays betrayal on a large scale and teaches a lot of life lessons specifically for college age students. I found this movie to be great and, also a way to reach various crowds of people with all the action and drama within the movie. The movie beings with the start of the four guys school day although they are in high school they almost never go. Then continues on with the average day of the teenage boys shoplifting, fighting, and getting into all sorts of trouble. The movie gives you a clear example of what it is like living in an inner city community. It specifically shows you how gentlemen of the past, present, and future have dreams of making it out of bad neighborhoods. You get to see all the problems they face day in and day out which includes peer pressure, deaths, betrayal, and the meaning of a true friendship. The violent scenes of the movie are the most lesson field parts also. I believe Dickerson did a great job of directing this film he has a clear way of organizing the film. He organizes this way so that the audience can get a complete feeling of how the African American boys in 1992 were feeling. I also feel like the scenery helped it even more because it is placed directly in the heart of Harlem. Having this horrific scenery gives it more of an inner city feel. Instead of four suburban teenagers in the suburbs, the use of the four African American male actors helps me to understand and connect it with people I know. The movie being so reliable is what I believe makes the film incredible, it seems like it is a story that has happened to me and I'm just retelling it. Overall Juice is a movie that will draw every person between the ages 16-25. It has enough thrill and scenes to relate to this wide range of viewers. It can also be a motivation to teens all across the world. I believe it can be a motivation because it gives obvious reasons for why teen should not follow peer pressure, intake drugs, drink, and always follows their dreams. I mention teens all across the world because although many people believe inner city kids are the only once who face violence, in reality, all teens do. The violence every teen faces is different and comes in different shapes, forms, and height but overall it is obstacles everyone must cross. Juice has a great way of portraying the best way and the worst way of overcoming your individual obstacles. Ernest Dickerson should be extremely proud of this incredible film he directed. He provided entertainment while teaching life lessons that everyone could use like how to love, commitment, honesty, and friendship. If I had to rate this movie I would give it a 8 of 10 simply because its intriguing but could give a little more back story.
View MoreFour teen friends grow up in a tough Harlem neighborhood. They skip school, hang out, steal music records for Q, and get harassed by the police and Radames' gang. Bishop (Tupac Shakur) has a chip on his shoulder and a drug addicted father. Q (Omar Epps) is an aspiring DJ. Steel is the chubby sidekick. Raheem has a baby and an angry baby mama. Bishop is angry for always running and losing a friend. He pushes the other three especially Q to rob a bodega. Bishop ends up killing the owner. In the aftermath, the boys argue and Bishop kills Raheem.Tupac shows his acting chops and some real power with potential. Omar Epps shows his presence by providing a stable center for the movie. There are other newcomers but these two are the standouts. This is a small scale epic tragedy of angry young man in a difficult world. Their troubles are almost inevitable.
View Morewhat i viewed about the movie at we just watched was good. It showed a lesson in like who is your real friends and who is your fake friends. Raheem did not deserve to die the way he did. Just because they did a rob in a store is when all of the best friends have beef now. Now that all of that bad stuff happened they became not friends against each other and had to learn to keep there mouth shut. Real friends don't kill each other they stick together through everything. I feel bad for raheem because now he is dead. Threw out the end of the movie everybody can see that it wasn't Q that killed anybody.Always watch who you trust or friends with. Its a better lesson for everybody to learn.
View MoreTo start off, I am a huge Tupac fan, and watched this and Poetic Justice back to back. Those are very far away each other on the love story to horror movie equilibrium, and Juice won by a ton. This movie does a spectacular job of not portraying Tupac as the stupid rap star who wants to act, like T.I., Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre were portrayed in most of their movies. This movie has spawned many classic quotes for me, and shows just how tough the street can be for kids who have no idea what they are doing. This movie has a lot of symbolism, and has a very nice ending that ties well with everything that happens throughout. For being young guys, the four main stars do very well with making their character come to life. 10/10, this movie is a classic to me.
