Movie Reviews of Jason's Lyric

Movie Review: Romance at its best
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is my definition of a good romance film. It's simply about a good man's romantic chase going after a good woman and the fact that nothing can separate their love in the end. I especially liked it showing the romance in a modern Black perspective. Excellent directing and excellent acting. Always loved Allen Payne and Bokeem Woodbine. Seen them in a couple of other films or TV shows where they showed their good acting skills. Jada Pinkett-Smith is of course top of the line.

Summary of Jason's Lyric

At the heart of this dynamic film is the love of a man for a woman, a mother for a son, and a brother for a brother. Rarely is one man's struggle for inner peace so poignantly displayed as in this engrossingly sexy and unflinchingly violent love story. Lyric is the young woman who rekindles the dreams of a man tormented by a father's alcoholic violence now perpetuated by an unstable brother. Allen Payne and Jada Pinkett make for one of the screen's most memorable duos in the title roles. Each brings emotional intensity paired with powerful sexuality to their roles. Director Doug McHenry speaks to the 1990s by deftly balancing the story's heightened drama with just enough hope to give it impact. --Rochelle O'Gorman

From one of the producers of New Jack City comes a "sizzling hot" (Glamour Magazine) Romeo and Juliet drama that blends an explosive soundtrack with an all-star cast inlcuding Allen Payne (The Walking Dead) Jada Pinkett (The Nutty Professor) Bokeem Woodbine (The Rock) Forest Whitaker (The Crying Game) and Naughty By Nature s Anthony Treach Criss (Who s The Man). Jason and Josua are two brothers left fatherless by a family fight that spun out of control. Trying to make good and get off the slick getto streets of Houston Jason (Payne) finds a source of inspiration in a beautiful and sexy girl named Lyric (Pinkett) whose dreams of fleeing the city together give him hope for a better life. But when Joshua (Woodbine) turns to a life of crime and drugs Jason finds he s torn between his love for Lyric and his obligation to family. And as the time comes for Jason to leave he finds that Joshua will stop at nothing to see that he stays...even if the fight to keep him rivals the one that killed their father!"System Requirements:Starring: Anthony "Treach" Criss Eddie Griffin Allen Payne Jada Pinkett Forest Whitaker and Bokeem Woodbine.
