Movie Description
Best friends Q (Omar Epps), Bishop (Tupac Shakur), Raheem (Khalil Kain), and Steel (Jermaine 'Huggy' Hopkins) live in a world where fun and danger exist side-by-side, and violence is powerfully seductive. These four Harlem friends take on the neighborhood-- and each other--to get the power and respect they call Juice.
Synopsis
An exploration into the lives of four African-American teens and the repercussions of their decision to commit a robbery. The film takes a strong stand against the use of guns and violent crime, as a way of escaping inner-city poverty.

Industry Reviews
"...[Dickerson] has a terrific eye and some juice of his own....[He] elicits warm, uncomplicated performances from his actors..."
Maslin
"...The film is an inflammatory morality play shot through with rage and despair....[Dickerson] is a born filmmaker. He captures the jittery, combative rhythm of a way of life..."
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (01/24/1992)
"...A vivid, promising piece of work..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (01/17/1992)
"...Much of the strength of the film comes from the actors....Dickerson finds a rhythm that uses the visuals instead of just flaunting them..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (01/17/1992)
