돌아온 이탈자 2
Associate Producer
이 영화는 고등학생에 대한 이야기이지만 가벼운 로맨스나 호러, 액션 소재의 킬링 타임용이 아니다. 어른 혹은 사회를 향해 무분별한 총기 소지에 대해 직간접적인 질문을 던지는 사회 비판 영화이다. 나아지지 않는 흑인의 삶, 가난을 대물림 받은 어린 학생들이 범죄에 손대고 한탕주의에 젖어 무분별한 총 난사를 하는 것이 과연 젊은이들만의 잘못이며 책임인가 되짚어 보지 않을 수가 없다. Ernest R. Dickerson (어니스트 R. 딕커슨) 감독의 스크린 데뷔작이며, 10대에 범죄를 저지른 학생들에 대해 무척이나 객관적인 시야를 유지한다. 힙합 뮤지션인 2pac이 악역을 맡아서 화제가 된 바 있다. 영화 Juice [돌아온 이탈자 2] OST는 92년 빌보드 앨범 차트 17위까지 올랐으며, Aaron Hall이 부른 Don't Be Afraid는 R&B/Hip-Hop 싱글 차트에서 1위, Eric B. & Rakim이 부른 Juice (know The Ledge)는 Rap 싱글 차트 7위/빌보드 싱글 차트 96위까지 올랐다.
