Summary: Juice
Review: This movie is one of my all time favorites. If you havent seen it yet then you don't know what your missing! it has great action in it and has a lot of good and fine actors like Tupac Shakur and Omar Epps I recomend this movie to pretty much anyone who likes action and a little bit of mystery

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tupac & Omar Epps Have All Star Performances
Review: This is a great movie about friends and respect. It's not what I expected, but it was a great movie nonetheless. Tupac plays an awesome role and Omar Epps is even better. This is truely one of the great movies about life in the hood. It rivals South Central, Mencace To Society, And Boyz In The Hood.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great movie
Review: tupac was excellent in this movie. He was very convincing. I remember when this movie first came out, i was in junior high going into high school and everybody was talking about it. You wasn't in the "in crowd" if you didn't go see this movie. So I recommend this movie to any tupac fans or to people who weren't up on him that wants to know about him despite of what people thought about him.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 2pac is amazing!
Review: The first movie 2pac {Bishop} stars in & has an extreme impact on the watcher it will leave u weeing in your pants, especially when 2pac puts on the crazy look at the locker next to Omar Epps. You have to watch this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 2pacs best performance
Review: 2pac put so much energy in this film. he played the perfect pshyco. the scene he had with omar at omars locker was amazing...that is the one line i will remember 2pac for. this is the movie that made 2pac a thug. he was straight up hard in this movie. one part i really liked was when radimez and his gang went in 2pacs face...eventually 2pac got the juice...i think the movie was kinda 70s though with the hair. it had a great plot. it just shows how far people will go to get respect...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Strong debut performance by a soon-to-be legendary icon...
Review: It's hard to believe that it has been 10 years since this movie's initial release. My uncle worked as the projectionist at a run-down movie theater on the southside of my town when this came out, and he snuck me in to see this film at the tender age of 12. It was one of the first real, unflinching glimpses I got of the youth in the early '90s, the peer pressure they feel, as well as the mistakes that can lead to often severe consequences. It was at the time, and remains today, an incredibly effective movie.

Anyways, enough of the set-up, 'Juice' tells the story of four young men, who spend their days ditching school, walking the streets of New York, going to the pool hall, and just laughing it up together the way friends do. They joke about girls with each other, who slept with who, get each other's back when someone has beef, and NEVER lose their trust in one another. However it becomes apparent that the code of their neighborhood is that the person with the gun commands the most respect, and that mentality is what turns everything wrong. One of them gets their hands on a gun and decides the four of them should stick up the corner store, and although there is some fear and doubt among them, ultimately they agree to go through with it. There is something genuinely terrifying about watching these four kids, whom the film has allowed us to like and relate to like our closest homeboys, become armed robbers holding a gun to a poor, whimpering store clerk's head and demanding that he empty the cash register. Without going into specifics, the robbery goes horribly wrong, and after a few days as the tension from local police looking for leads seems to die down, the friends quickly grow distant and, eventually, begin to suspect each other. It's a pretty involving story as it unfolds, and there are a few shocking scenes (though they are not nearly as violent as I remember them being). Omar Epps is pretty good in the lead role, the sensible and ambitious Q. But, c'mon now. It's obvious that this is Tupac's movie. I mean, face it, without him it would be nothing. Watching it now, it is even more interesting to see him so young and turning in such a powerful and eye-opening debut. In the role of Bishop, the one who got the gun and who planned and initiated the robbery, he is absolutely riveting, delivering his lines with such guts and emotion, the most interesting character in the movie by far. In the scene by the lockers in the school hallway, when he stares at Q with those intense eyes, and utters the now-famous line "You're right. I am crazy. But you know what else? I don't give a f---", you believe every word and the tension and terror in the air feels so real, it's chilling. As everything begins to unfold around him, his character Bishop becomes more and more merciless in his actions. In his debut role, Tupac delivered probably the best and without a doubt the most memorable performance of his all-too brief career.

So if you're a die-hard fan of Tupac, then you may as well go ahead and buy this movie, because it's required watching material. But, even if you don't particularly like Tupac's music, that shouldn't keep you from watching this, because it is still a very good movie, and he had limitless potential as an actor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All right everyone strip!!
Review: The title of my review comes from one of my favorite scenes in the film. Tupac is absolutely amazing as Bishop. His performance in this movie is evidence that he was an actor who was very underrated. He makes amost all of the scenes that he is in memorable. Who can forget the scene with Bishop and Q (Omar Epps) in the hallway by Q's locker. Epps does a good job as the "Local" Dj. but it is Pac that makes this movie so great. As an example of his greatness watch the scene where he goes to the funeral onf Rahim and hugs his mother after he shot her son.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Nuff respect due!
Review: The work and effort displayed in this modification of "JUICE" on to DVD has the same characteristics of a lazy teenager who parents had asked to wash the dishes before leaving the house! It's still a ghetto classic of a movie but ,what happened to the behind the scenes? Music videos? Director's commentary? There's nothing more here on this disc than the movie and scene selections. I am embarrassed to have added this to my DVD collection. My intentions are not to mislead y'all ,I knew about the disc contents way before I ordered . Damn I should've waited for the 25th anniversary of this released on Dvd. To those who chose not to purchase this disc ,you got the "juice" now ! Those who are , BAYOR ( buy at your own risk)!
