Editorial Review:
At the heart of this dynamic film is the love of a man for a woman, a mother for a son, and a brother for a brother. Rarely is one man's struggle for inner peace so poignantly displayed as in this engrossingly sexy and unflinchingly violent love story. Lyric is the young woman who rekindles the dreams of a man tormented by a father's alcoholic violence now perpetuated by an unstable brother. Allen Payne and Jada Pinkett make for one of the screen's most memorable duos in the title roles. Each brings emotional intensity paired with powerful sexuality to their roles. Director Doug McHenry speaks to the 1990s by deftly balancing the story's heightened drama with just enough hope to give it impact. --Rochelle O'Gorman
Jason's Lyric Reviews:
Buying a video 
2009-09-09 - I bought this for my teenage daughter. It came quickly. The site was very easy to use and didn't keep me on for a long wait like some sites do. It was in good condition
one of the best love stories created!!!..A CLASSIC!! 
2009-07-06 - Hey this is a classic tragedy/passionate/fullfilling love story! this is what love is all about!..making changes and sacrifices! when one compliments your life in areas where you need to heal and grow! the brother josh had a handicap and was'nt acceptable to change,they practically babysitted him each time he was released from prison,instead of coming home using that to an advantage,he took advantage of it. he used it to place guilt on his brother jason and his mother,making them miserable! he was a alcoholic like their deceased father,whom lost his sanity in the war and was wounded and became a cripple sort of speak,as youth,the 2 brothers witness the murder of the father,jason accidentially pulled the trigger on mad-dog for beating and physically abusing their mom. josh continually till grown up used this against his mom and jason. jason had nightmares,drenching in sweat with guilt in his sleepless hours of awaken from it. you will enjoy every bit of the passion in this movie as well. once lyric finds out what a beautiful man jason is and how much he could change her life,he as well sees what a special women lyric is and she helps him make some difficult but much needed changes!! i won't ruin it for you but in the end,they exscape their miserable lives through the love of one another and much needed change is found! I BEG U!! GET THIS MOVIE!!! IT IS A BLOCKBUSTER HIT!!!!
