Synopsis
Cinematographer Ernest R. Dickerson directed and co-wrote this crime drama about a group of friends who get involved in a robbery. Bishop (Tupac Shakur), Q (Omar Epps), Raheem (Khalil Kain), and Steel (Jermaine Hopkins) are four Harlem friends who spend their days skipping school, getting in fights, and casually shoplifting. The only member of the group who has plans for the future is Q, who dreams of becoming a deejay. But one day Bishop happens to see James Cagney in White Heat and the film inspires him to buy a gun. His plan is to rob a corner store and split the money. Everyone goes along with the plan except for Q, who is competing that night in a deejay contest. At the club, Q is a rousing success, but he spies the stern faces of his friends through the cheering crowd and realizes that he has to go along with the robbery, which goes completely wrong. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

bluray
bad encode
June 16, 2017I assumed this would be better than the DVD, but it is worse. Where there is film grain (which is almost everywhere) there are connected white speckled/noise everywhere. I thought it was one scene, but it is throughout. This is unwatchable. No wonder this came out unannounced and cheap. Not worth it. If the encode was right, it would be worth it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Check yourself, Q!
June 7, 2017"You gotta snatch some collars let them know you're there to take them out anytime you feel like it. You gotta get the ground beneath your feet, get the wind behind your back and go out in a blaze." What classic performance by Young Shakur. Blue Ray looks fantastic, worth it for $12.

Good movie with great presentation
August 24, 2017So, I have to start this by saying that Juice, as a movie, gets a 4-4.5 stars, but I have to bump it all the way to a 5 because of how good Paramount's 4K scan looks. Juice is a great, gritty urban crime thriller, offering a great look into life in a 90's New York burrow. Juice follows more in the thriller/noir vein than some of it's contemporary gangster films like Menace II Society. The cast is great, especially a young 2Pac, who is fantastic as a paranoia-filled youth that becomes increasingly unhinged as the movie progresses. Juice also has an incredible soundtrack featuring Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, Big Daddy Kane, and Naughty by Nature, among others.

Looks like we're having trouble displaying reviews for this feature
i read some reviews on here about the bluray and i have to disagree. the transfer looks good but still has alot of grain.its not a full remaster no way.sound is dissapointing gunshots are tinny sounding and music lacks fidelity.i knew something was up when it started i had to turn reciever up alot more than usual.i should have known when the price was like only 10.99.when older movies are remastered and color timing is adjusted and sound redone they usually gor for at least 19.99.im still happy i have this in my collection i was just hoping for a little more.cant go wrong at 10.99
