 | | The new film "Juice," which is street slang for "respect," is very slow to start. |
 | | And before long it becomes apparent that the plot is really little more than a variation on the oldest film noir crime cliche in the book a robbery is planned by a gang of thieves, it goes awry and someone is killed, and instead of pulling together, the gang finds itself coming apart. |
 | | Though the film's first third or so is frustrating, first-time director and co-writer Ernest R. Dickerson, who is a respected cinematographer, manages to kick in the necessary emotional pull and visceral thrills in time to save the film. |
