New Jack City

New Jack City, as an Action, Crime, and Drama film, primarily evokes strong feelings of Anxiety, Anger, and a sense of the Disturbing due to its gritty portrayal of the crack epidemic, gang violence, and moral decay. Sadness and Empathy are significant as the audience witnesses the tragic consequences for characters caught in the drug trade, including the downfall of the protagonist cop. Excitement and Anticipation are present during action sequences and the cat-and-mouse game, but the overall tone is one of grim realism and a cautionary tale.
