J.D.'s Revenge Summary Outta The Grave And Into The Ghetto Comes The Tortured Spirit Of A 1940's Tough-as-nails Gangster Who Pries His Way Into The Body Of A Hip And Likable Young Soul Brother (glynn Turman, How Stella Got Her Groove Back). With Terrifying Twists And Turns, This Spine-tingling, "sharp, Hip And Offbeat" (boxoffice) Adventure Delivers Pure Urban Action Excitement! Ike (turman) Is Having A Night On The Town When He Volunteers To Be Part Of A Hypnotist's Nightclub Act. But When Thedemonic Spirit Of A Long-dead Gangster Muscles Its Way Into Ike's Mindall Hell Breaks Loose! Calling Himself J.d., Ike Thinks He Is The Reincarnation Of The Murdered Gangster As He Launches A Rampage Of Revenge To Destroy Those Who Did Him In Years Ago. It Seems No One Can Stop This Killing Machine Until One Of His Soon-to-be-victims, A Reformed Hood Turned Preacher (academy AwardÂ(r) Winner* Lou Gossett), Comes To The Ghastly Conclusion That If He Hopes To Survive, He Must Save Ike's Soul Himself! *1982: Supporting Actor, An Officer And A Gentleman

It's been branded with the "blaxploitation" label, but there is little that's exploitive in J.D.'s Revenge, a film of well-drawn, articulate characters dragged into a supernatural showdown. Glynn Turman (Cooley High) is especially fine as the sensitive and quiet Ike, a determined student moonlighting as a cab driver, so wound up he's on the verge of cracking. Enter (literally) the ghost of J.D., a violent, vengeful gangster murdered in the opening moments. He could be Ike's own Mr. Hyde, a dapper, flamboyant ladykiller with a fiery temper and a straight razor who slowly smothers Ike's easygoing personality. Driven by flashes of memory, he sets his vengeful sights on fire-and-brimstone preacher Reverend Bliss (Louis Gossett Jr.), whose dark past is intricately tied up with J.D.'s murder. Director Arthur Marks (Detroit 9000) sidesteps the usual spooky clichés to stir up a modern New Orleans gumbo of ghost story, gangster tale, and character drama. J.D. is both devilish sadist and avenging angel, while the tortured Ike awakens from J.D.'s violent rampages with a hole in his memory but a sick feeling from his imagined complicity in the crimes. The story gets wrapped up a little too neatly in the end, but the dark character shadings and the evocative mystery at the center of Ike's possession makes J.D.'s Revenge an unexpectedly compelling supernatural thriller. --Sean Axmaker
