Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME PERFORMANCE BY SHAKUR!
Review: This was a very great movie! Tupac (2pac shakur) gave a great performance. His co-star Tim Roth did a great job as well. This is a very funny movie also. It is about two guys (2pac,Roth) who are trying to get into a detox program. They go to building after building and still do not get into the program. The twist is they stole some dope from two guys, and they want it back. This is a must see movie. (Shakur shows that he is a talented actor as well as a rapper!)

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Tupac & Tim Roth plays very convincing as 2 drug-addicts
Review: Tupac & Tim Roth plays very convincing as 2 drug-addicts trying to kick the habit.

Vondie Curtis Hall really should make more movies, couse all fits like a glove: the acting, camera-work, the editing, the score all are supreme.

The story is really good, and even people who aren't fans of Tupac can't deny that his acting isn't great, becouse it is.

I'll ADVICE EVERY MOVIE FAN TO WATCH THIS ONE

Summary: Totally underhyped masterpiece.
Review: When serious film buffs talk about Gridlock'd, they can't help but compare it to the supposedly better Trainspotting. Well, I've seen both films and I prefer Gridlock'd. And although I'm bias when it comes to Tupac (my favorite rapper), this lost little gem of a film truly stands on its own.

The movie is about two heroin addicts, Stretch (Tim Roth) and Spoon (Shakur) who are desperately trying to kick their drug habit after their fellow musician friend Cookie (Thandie Newton) OD's on New Years Eve. Thus begins their hilarious harrowing journey through an uncaring beaurocracy, including a rude hospital worker, a desk clerk with a short temper... and the list goes on and on. Not only that, but Stretch and Spoon have to get into a detox center before they're captured by the police who think they've committed a drug-related double homicide, when in actuality, the real murderer is a drug dealer (Vondie Curtis Hall) who is trying to kill them both for stealing his dope. WHEW!

Shakur and Roth have outstanding chemistry together in this film. Both turn in terrific performances and deliver occasionally hilarious one-liners. Gridlock'd is Vondie Curtis Hall's directorial debut, so props to him. He did a very fine job. He also wrote the screenplay.

If you haven't seen it yet, I'd highly recommend it. If you read the summary on the back of the cassette/DVD case and thought it sounded stupid, believe me. It's really a great movie. If for nothing else, rent the film for Tim Roth's encounter with the desk clerk. It has to be one of the funniest moments in film history.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun And Entertaining - Tupac & Tim Roth Play It Well.
Review: With a decent plot and very little in the way of action, it is amazing that this film works so effectively. Basically a day-in-the-life tale following the misfortunes of two drug addicts, Spoon (Tim Roth) and Stretch (Tupac Shakur) as they desperately try to kick heroin habits and avoid the unfortunate attention of a local gangster.

The dialogue is quick and funny, and the two leads are very impressive. Shakur is a true revelation and Roth does his usual swaggy/cool style even with his character's boundaries. The film tries to be moral at times, but due to the comedy - just isn't. With a great soundtrack and a live performance at the end from the rapper himself, Gridlock'd succeeds magnificently.
