More Detail:
Almost a ghetto-version of ROMEO AND JULIET, JASON’S LYRIC aims to take the viewer on a romantic escapade through the trash-filled streets of a Houston ghetto. The names are changed to Jason and Lyric, and hero Jason is a hard-working young man who wants to do right. His childhood starts with a great beginning, as he and his younger brother have a loving and caring mother and father. However, his life digresses when his alcoholic father, long divorced from their mother, is accidentally killed by his brother in a drunken disturbance. Years later, with his brother in and out of prison and Jason involved in a sexually immoral relationship, Jason finds himself still longing for a life void of the crime, murder and drugs found in such abundance in the ghetto. In the end, Lyric and Jason’s lives intersect in an area separate from their romance. Their brothers, involved in crime and murder together, kill each other after their plans turn sour. This twist leads to suspense and unravels many surprises as Jason’s life comes together and falls apart all at once.
Although JASON’S LYRIC is well made and could arguably be called entertaining, the romance element is overshadowed by graphic violence, substance abuse, cold-blooded murder, graphic sexual immorality, and an overwhelming quantity of foul language, ultimately portraying a cruel world in very cruel terms.
