great film… with one small exception
Poetic justice was a good film, and well acted, with one exception. To me, Janet Jackson simply wasn’t convincing in her role. Through no fault of her own. I believe the problem was that she is too big an entertainment personality to be able to play anyone besides herself. It’s difficult for the audience to get past the fact that it’s “Janet Jackson” on the screen and see the character. Similar to when Madonna tried to portray Evita Peron. A strong character, and a good story, but you couldn’t help seeing “Madonna” every time you look at the screen. I realize big names are intended to boost box office sales, and I respect that too. After all, show business is BUSINESS. Still, I think it would be good if casting directors would hire good actors instead of known celebrities and respect the integrity of the writing, as well as the audience.
