Plot: 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.

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.

    A movie that helped me to understand what becoming a man, a Black man, and an American man...is all about. Black Men United's "U Will Know" still counts as one of my favorite songs.

    Jason, I am TRYING to love you, but I don't want my heart broken. But that's exactly what you're gonna do if you keep trying to save a brother that don't want to be saved!

    decent drama and love story. this film starred a few actors i dont care for but for some reason in this film they worked ok. the story was decent but the end was melodramatic and over the top.
