Four Harlem friends -- Bishop, Q, Steel and Raheem -- dabble in petty crime, but they decide to go big by knocking off a convenience store. Bishop, the magnetic leader of the group, has the gun. But Q has different aspirations. He wants to be a DJ and happens to have a gig the night of the robbery. Unfortunately for him, Bishop isn't willing to take no for answer in a game where everything's for keeps.

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
doriva_paivarj First of all Im sorry for the bad english, but english is not my native language, now about the movie..., Im a huge fan of Tupac and hip-hop culture and I was looking foward to watch this movie since I've just watched Boys N the Hood and kids, and love it, and besides that Juice's imdb's rating is 7.1 stars at this moment. I made a Huge mistake, I just lost one and a half our... poor history, the worst actors, tupac disapointing as an actor, lots of cliches and very very bad production. Really is unbeliveble that the imdb rating is 7.1, the only explanation is that only teenagers and kids are rating this movie and dont know nothing about a good movie. Dont worst your time
aec-02554 This movie is so dope! My favorite movie-I still have it on VHS ha ha! Mr. Dickerson needs recognition, he did a great job on this movie-from casting to plot to acting. Even the soundtrack is dope. They don't make hood movies like this no mo! I have even more respect for Mr. Dickerson, learning from this site, I didn't know he was from my home state & home town-NEWARK NJ! Huggy too. NOW on to my favorite rapper (pre-fame) who killed his role..oops,no pun intended! Pac was so good, sometimes I think he really wasn't acting-yikes! Tupac had skills though-acting, rapping, just really a damn shame how it all ended. Also learned from this site how Tupac got casted-WOW!What a way to be discovered-just tagging along w/ his friend,Treach to his audition-talk about fate..but very uncanny how his character Bishop, reflected Pac's life-"Who's got the juice now?" is what Tupac is saying from up above, very eerie.
Billy Analog Often times, a lot of Movies that display the activities and lifestyles of young black urban youths of America lead to the stereotypical plague that follows through with it. Many audiences turn the cheek of any sort of interest in such kind of movies due to there raw and realistic elements. In my opinion, I think Juice was a fine movie that examplifies the realistic day to day life of Young Black Youths in the areas where their community is the vast majority. A story that anyone can relate too growing up in these areas where friends can become foes. Every actors character fit the surroundings of average day to day people of the community. While other movies like Menace to Society has substantial plots and shows reason, also brought influence to other youths to become what they see from the movie. In the case with Juice, the writing of Antogonists and Protagonists show that you want to root for the good side, because the bad side was so bad you could simply feel it! Probably my #1 favourite among many urban youth films
Michael Neumann It's a pity ace cinematographer Ernest Dickerson didn't take the same job for his own directing debut, which could have used a little razzle-dazzle visual camouflage to hide the clichés. The film presents a narrow, familiar view of inner city black culture: the language, the music, and the same old conflict between the struggle for respect and the impulse toward crime. Nothing new is added to an already overworked formula, and the screenplay offers no justification for hotheaded teen troublemaker Tupac Shakur's sudden transformation into a trigger-happy psychopath, following a liquor store hold-up gone sour. The New York City settings are gritty and authentic, but the film amounts to little more than a soundtrack album in search of a plot. Beware the portentous freeze-frame ending, which these days is a convenient way to avoid any sticky unanswered questions.
