30 Years Later, is Poetic Justice as Good as We Remember?

Oct. 25, 2024 – 03:57 – Poetic Justice, starring Janet Jackson, Tupac Shakur, and Nia Long, was John Singleton’s second film following Boyz n the Hood. At the time, it was a hit, but was it all that great? Thirty years after its release, Panama Jackson isn’t sure the film holds up to its original hype.
