Jason's Lyric Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Irishchatter This is definitely one of her best movies on the year I was born and it's mad that it'll be nearly 23 years old, I feel old when saying this lol! Anyways this movie does show African American culture but in a sad way that the two main characters were falling in hard times when their father came out from the Vietnam war. It was even more sadder that it screwed up one of the boys and made them into a serious psychopath! Thank Christ Jason and Lyric survived, especially by being shot by Joshua on the heart! It's just so unfortunate that Jason didn't have a good family background with his father and brother. However at least he got his Lyric, so it says on the title!
IrockGswift Two young men living with a single parent mother,and one has to step up to be the man. You have one brother that always in and out of trouble,and the other trying to make a living by selling TVs and helping his mother. Though Josh is back home he cannot work no ordinary 9 to 5 due to his past life as a drug-dealer. Jason on the other hand falls in loves with a waitress who's brother lives for the life of crime. By Lyric(the waitress) overhearing a plan to rob a bank that involves Jason's brother(Josh) she tells Jason not to get between that,meaning this could end their relationship. So Jason confronted Josh about it but Josh went on and foiled their plans,leaving Josh beat up and bloody. Jason felt he had to do something and not let Lyric's brother nearly kill him. As the day Jason and Lyric plan to elope,Jason arrived at their meeting place late with Lyric suspecting he got involved. Jason felt that his brother Josh knows he all he's got so he felt responsible. Lyric became heart-broken and left him. As Josh plans to murder the guys who nearly beat him to death. Friends of Jason tells him that Josh has lost it and is going after the guys who beat him down. But Jason had arrived to the scene a little too late as Josh corners Lyric at gunpoint to tell him where her brother is and to leave his brother alone. Josh accidently shoots her and Jason was devastated and carried her lifeless body out the house. WOW! I don't know why this movie didn't win an award for urban drama. This movie should have been as popular as it's soundtrack. The decision where Jason had to choose between his brother's life or turning his back on him to leave with a lover. This can't get anymore dramatic as that.
Paz (fuxing626) One endeavor in filmmaking that quite frequently doesn't turn out well is mixing genres. "Jason's Lyric" combines crime drama, love story, and ghetto film-and does it surprisingly beautifully. The acting is remarkable, the script is remarkable, and the emotion is remarkable. This movie could have turned out very pretentious and very cheesy. Apparently, the directors, writers, and producers completely acknowledged this, and refused to let that happen. The characters are very well developed and, while the movie doesn't justify Josh's actions, it does convey compassion for him. It also provides new insight on what it's really like to live in a ghetto. If you can find this movie (after all, I saw it on Showtime and haven't the video in any stores) totally see it!!!!
