Poetic Justice
'Cause Nobody, But Nobody Can Make It Out Here Alone.
A mismatched pair pushed together on a road trip from South Central L.A. to Oakland, Justice and Lucky have only one thing in common: they can't stand each other. But as their friends Lesha and Chicago 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! And the poetry of Maya Angelou, POETIC JUSTIC is every bit as intense, original and unforgettable as Boyz N the Hood.

I saw this movie quite a while ago and it has stuck with me every since. Janet Jackson is a very obvious talent when it comes to music...but i think she is a definite double threat, adding to the package her acting abilities. She has a quiet grace and class in her portrayal of Justice. Maya Angelou's poetry is just the icing on the cake.
Tupac is brilliant in his role as Lucky. I found him to be very genuine.
I think this movie is definitely a must see.
Of couse if you're looking for a shallow, packed with action (and nothing else), no substance movie...this is NOT it. This simple, yet profound movie is for intelligent people who will grasp it's true meaning and appreciate it.poetic justice - Audrey
Nice romatic movie, not that big of a twist but it's fun to watch when you are looking for a romantic comedy. The actors work is well done, not bad but not extroardinary. Nothing spectacular about the esthetic, ibut it serves the context, it shows ell where the caracters live. It's nice to see Janet Jackson in a movie, while she was still young and beautiful. Interesting, but not a must have.
