Description

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 Lesha 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.

    Lol one of THE most underrated movies of the 90s and in general . Don’t get me wrong I admire both leading actors but the plot and everything else was just flat out boring . Nothing special or unforgettable. The reason why most ppl are infatuated with this is cuz of Janet n Tupac . Go figure 🤷🏽‍♂️
  • Plotless and boring

    It was a plotless and boring movie. I’d rather be stuck in traffic then watching this movie again.

    I may not be the target audience for this movie, but that does not mean I did not get something out of this movie. Because I got a lot. This movie is a very realistic perspective on society and living under tragic circumstances. The characters have so many layers to them and feel like real people who are dealing with real issues. The performances are filled with raw emotion and surprised me until the credits rolled at the end of the film. Great messages presented in a very real way.
  • Real good movie

    There's something about this movie that makes my heart stop. When I had it on VHS I was watching it all the time. Definitely time for an upgrade.
