Product Description:
A recluse whose singular form of expression is her poetry and a postal carrier who records rap songs to voice his inner rage struggle to find love hope and personal transormation. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 12/21/2004 Starring: Janet Jackson Tupac Shakur Run time: 109 minutes Rating: R Director: John Singleton

Amazon.com:
Director John Singleton (Boyz N the Hood, Rosewood) made an earnest effort in this, his second, film to say a great deal that is true and relevant about living and loving in a violent, difficult time in American history. Janet Jackson plays a beautician and poet who withdraws into herself after her boyfriend is murdered by gangsters. The late Tupac Shakur plays a postman who tries to get through to her, and the two travel on a course through urban America, connecting with family and community. Singleton has so much on his mind that the film comes out a terrible muddle, but there is a certain integrity peeking through the fog. Shakur makes a startlingly good impression in his film debut, and Jackson strips away her star veneer to play something like a real person--and entirely succeeds. Maya Angelou wrote the poems that pass as those penned by Jackson's character, and she also appears in the film. --Tom Keogh



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - I thoght it was just alright it could been better.
I thought that janet jackson part in the movie didn't really give a strong plot really at all. I felt that Tupac acting was better than Janet and the part with Regins King.If your bored at home it's worth watching if nothing else is on tv. Bring back the 90's feel .



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Beautiful
This movie is highly under-rated. It is a "love conquers all" story that is beautifully written. The film is a surprise which covers the break-up of a seemingly cute-and-cuddly couple Iesha and Chicago and the coming together of the mis-matched Lucky (2pac) and Justice (Janet Jackson). While many love stories are unrealistic, this story speaks the truth and includes many heart-breaks,deaths, arguments, and hurdles along the path to happiness. Additionally, this film speaks to the true talent of the ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Pathetic Junkstice!
This movie was one of the worst wastes of film and time that I have ever seen.

Back in 1993, it may have seen like a good idea to put then-pop princess Janet Jackson with rapper on the rise 2pac Shakur on a story loosely centered around South Central LA (one scene shows the devastation of the then-recent riots). Sadly, this film is a great mess of nothing, showing the fluke of "Boyz in the Hood's" success.

First of all, Miss Jackson is no actress and much of the film doesn't ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Poetry Malfunction
POETIC JUSTICE has two great performances by Janet Jackson and Tupac Shakur, who have chemistry enough to burn down the screen, but it suffers from ho-hum direction by auteur John Singleton, and most of all, its ridiculous poetry by former Poet Laureate Maya Angelou just makes you cringe. Even Janet Jackson sounds embarrassed by it, and she's supposed to be the one writing it. In one scene she lounges discontented in a big bed covered with colorful pillows and batik cloths, from above the camera pans ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not Singleton's Finest Moment, But Still Worth Watching
It's clear what Singleton attempted to do with this one, and I'd say it was a noble effort. Of course the script could've been tighter and the climax stronger and more rewarding, thus resulting in a more worthwhile film. However, in the film's defense, the charismatic Tupac shines while convincingly helming the sole well-conceived role. He's the best reason -- perhaps the only reason -- viewers should join in on the film's road trip to Oakland. He's subtle but confident, forceful but not heavy-handed, complex ... Read More
