This thread got me watching this YouTube vid again…

Jada Pinkett’s characters name was Lyric.You mean to tell me you got a retired Vietnam war veteran with a mental illness, his ex-wife traumatized by the change in his behavior, two brothers — one which killed the dad trying to protect the mom while the other was in & out of jail (likely suffering from that trauma)… with great foundation with the backdrop being mid 90s Houston…
AND THE MAJORITY OF THE FILM IS A LOVE STORY CENTERED AROUND JADA fukkING PINKETT
no focus on how a traumatic event can lead two brothers on two separate paths??!? We had to get TWO sex scenes of Jason and Jada but damn near none of Josh’s growth being an ex-con or how his mother is dealing with the pain?!?


You gotta understand nicca was going crazy over Jada in the 90s.You mean to tell me you got a retired Vietnam war veteran with a mental illness, his ex-wife traumatized by the change in his behavior, two brothers — one which killed the dad trying to protect the mom while the other was in & out of jail (likely suffering from that trauma)… with great foundation with the backdrop being mid 90s Houston…

I never saw it.
They tried to make her out to be this deep, introspective person in the movie.I thought she was cute, but not super bad or anything.
Lots of other actresses out there looked better than her.

That tried to make her out to be this deep, introspective person in the movie.
Just some minimum wage chick who wanted to get out of the hood.
