Poetic Justice Summary Superstar Janet Jackson Makes Her Stunning Film Debut In Director John Singleton's (boyz N The Hood) Street-smart Love Story, poetic Justice. A Mismatched Pair Pushed Together On A Road Trip From South Central L.a. To Oakland, Justice (jackson) And Lucky (tupac Shakur) Have Only One Thing In Common: They Can't Stand Each Other. But As Their Friends Lesha And Chicago (regina King And Joe Torry) 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! Tone! And The Poetry Of Maya Angelou, poetic Justice Is Every Bit As Intense, Original And Unforgettable As boyz N The Hood.

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
