Poetic Justice

Superstar Janet Jackson makes her stunning film debut in director John Singleton's (Boyz N the Hood), street-smart love story, POETIC JUSTICE.   A mismatched pair pushed together on a road trip from South Central L.A. to Oakland, Justice (Jackson) and Lucky (Tupac Shakur) have only one thing in common:  They can't stand each other.  But as their friends Iesha and Chicago (Regina King and Joe Torry) fight - and make up - in the back of the van, Justice and Lucky find themselves reluctantly drawn together.  After a surprising detour toward romance, the two travelers are confronted once again by the shocking violence they thought they'd left behind.  Featuring the music of Naughty by Nature and Tony! Toni! Tone! and the poetry of Maya Angelou, POETIC JUSTICE is every bit as intense, original and unforgettable as Boyz N the Hood.

Running time 109 mins. Columbia Tristar Home Video Rated R

Personal Rating:

Billy Zane is only in the first five minutes of this movie, but he looked really, really good in it.  He really makes you appreciate a bald head.  The rest of the movie, I enjoyed.  It's definitely not in comparison to Boyz N the Hood, but it has potential.  I loved the look on Billy's face when you started the music.  :-)

On a scale of 1-10, I give it a 5.
