Rating: Summary: very very funny Review: And very original too. [...] This is not only thoroughly entertaining throughout but also hilariously funny in parts, tupac & tim roth are superb. Nuff said. Go & watch trainspotting if you want an over-rated over-hyped over-appreciated movie, but stick with gridlock'd if you want a genuinely funny 2 hrs of entertainment.
Rating: Summary: "Life is a traffic jam..." Review: At first, I hated this movie, but I soon realized I had never given it a chance, so I decided to. It's a pretty compelling movie, with a different kind of plot and a few jokes along the way. It also has a strong message to it. It may seem boring if you start to watch it near the end, but if you start at the beginning and follow the story, it can be pretty entertaining. It may seem like a very, very unusual cast, but Tupac & Tim Roth are so close in the movie that it makes you think that in real life, they really are two broke baseheads. I can't agree with it being Pac's best performance, but it's definetely one of his best.

Rating: Summary: Nice combination of actors Review: Great, funny must see! If not more then once, at least once to laugh your a$$ off.
Rating: Summary: Great story Review: I am looking forward to another movie by Vondie Curtis Hall. Gridlock'd had a great anti-bureaucracy plot and was well acted by three wonderful actors, Thandie Newton, Tim Roth, and the late great Tupac Shakur. There were a few dragging moments, but they are easily overlooked. I was too busy wondering what was going to happen next!
Rating: Summary: Best Tupac Shakur movie. Review: I thought it was going to be a gangsta movie but it really wasn't.I can't describe the movie cause it was so tight.So Rest In Peace Tupac and I'll see you at the end of the road.
Rating: Summary: Craptacular Review: I was expecting more out of this movie since 2Pac was in it. Once I saw it, I was dissapointed. 2Pac and Tim Roth go around town trying to get help to be drug free, but the American system won't help them. It's a total and complete waste of time.
Rating: Summary: Highly Recommended. Gritty, Funny & Real Review: I would recommend this film to anyone that enjoyed Pulp Fiction. It is extremely well written and acted. Tupac Shakur and Tim Roth both give great performances. I would have preferred it if Tim Roth hadn't tried to do an east coast accent and stuck to his native British Isle drawl - Oh Well. Otherwise, go rent or buy this film!
Rating: Summary: Things brings a great memory for Tupac Review: I'm a fan of Tupac Shakur's work and I respect him for being an actor as well. This was his last movie before his tragic death. This is a movie about drugs and violence. But it also has a message, don't do drugs!
Rating: Summary: Endearing double act enlivens familiar crime comedy. Review: Imagine 'While You Were Sleeping' set in a milieu of junkies, gangstas and cops. While their friend Cookie lies in emergency after a New Year's Eve overdose, musicians Spoon and Stretch decide to finally kick their habit. However, they quickly get lost in a Kafkaesque urban labyrinth of bureaucracy, its servants blocking their good intentions with rules, paperwork and (admittedly justified) resentment; they also get caught in the fire of gang warfare, as two lethally relentless hitmen (one dubbed portentously 'the Reaper') try to retrieve 3 oz of heroine the scallies found on a murdered friend. The air of unreality produced by cramming a fantastic amount of life-changing and -threatening incident into one (holi)day is underlined by the generally comic tone, in which events seem more frustrating than genuinely dangerous. The situation of two wannabe-streetwise petty criminals forced to deal with the inanities of the welfare service is in itself funny. But the possibility of their friend dying is an urgent one, as is their desire to change, reinforced by the flashbacks revealing a trio of musicians on the brink of a big time they are now close to throwing away (it is important, however, to note the idealising function of these flashbacks, a kind of lost golden age against which the nightmare present is compared). The rapport between Tupac Shakur and Tim Roth is genuinely charming, not because they're super-funny or hyper-articulate like Tarantino characters, but because they're ordinary, likable blokes like most of us, down on their luck, with a poignant gap between their dreams and debilities, and an admirable, unexpected resourcefulness. Comedy is one thing, though; it seems a bit of a cheat when the climax dissipates into cartoon, undoing the goodwill that helped the viewer overlook the lacklustre script and sometimes irritating visual tics.
