Movie Reviews of Poetic Justice
Movie Review: movie critic
Summary: 4 Stars
I believe it showed Tupac and Janet's acting abilities. It depicts the reality of life in the hood. Cons:Could have been a better ending, the whole movies is kind of predictable too.
Summary of Poetic Justice
A mismatched pair pushed together on a road trip from South Central L.A. to Oakland Justice and Lucky have only one thing in common: they can't stand each other. But as their friends Lesha and Chicago 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! And the poetry of Maya Angelou POETIC JUSTIC is every bit as intense original and unforgettable as Boyz N the Hood.System Requirements:Starring: Maya Angelou Tyra Ferrell Janet Jackson Regina King Tupac Shakur and Joe Torry. Directed By: John Singleton. Running Time: 110 Min. Color. This film is presented in both "Widescreen" and "Standard" formats. Copyright 2002 Columbia TriStar.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?043396523999 Manufacturer No:?52399Director John Singleton (Boyz N the Hood, Rosewood) made an earnest effort in this, his second, film to say a great deal that is true and relevant about living and loving in a violent, difficult time in American history. Janet Jackson plays a beautician and poet who withdraws into herself after her boyfriend is murdered by gangsters. The late Tupac Shakur plays a postman who tries to get through to her, and the two travel on a course through urban America, connecting with family and community. Singleton has so much on his mind that the film comes out a terrible muddle, but there is a certain integrity peeking through the fog. Shakur makes a startlingly good impression in his film debut, and Jackson strips away her star veneer to play something like a real person--and entirely succeeds. Maya Angelou wrote the poems that pass as those penned by Jackson's character, and she also appears in the film. --Tom Keogh
