Four Harlem friends -- Bishop (Tupac Shakur), Q (Omar Epps), Steel (Jermaine Hopkins) and Raheem (Khalil Kain) -- 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.

Ben Thompson Sight & Sound Juice adapts the DJ-struggling-to- make-it scenario to put across a mesage of inner-city hopelessness...the most interesting elements are the all too brief glimpses of family life and the boys' own relationships. Feb 6, 2020 Full Review David Ansen Newsweek Poised halfway between the action conventions of New Jack City and the personal grit of Straight Out of Brooklyn, Juice doesn't have the pizzaz or the insight, to satisfy as either exploitation or art. Feb 7, 2018 Full Review Variety Staff Variety Dickerson and co-writer Gerard Brown exhibit a sharp ear for dialog and have some real finds in their largely unknown cast... Mar 26, 2009 Full Review KT Mahe For Your Reference Podcast Juice is a solid film that met it's brief through with memorable performances. However, fleshing out the context in which motivated characters would have transcended the film. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Oti For Your Reference Podcast Juice teases the potential to deeply explore serious themes but falls short. While promising, the abrupt shifts in character development, particularly Bishop's, leaves one emotionally disconnected. It misses some opportunities but remains a decent watch. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Ernece B. Kelly The Crisis Juice is the most mature and provocative meditation on black street life to date. With Juice, Dickerson makes an impressive directorial debut. Nov 27, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
