cpu-4 The trailer looked like fun, but it's been a while since I have seen such a boring flick! The current IMDb rating of 7 must be because of all the Tupac fanboys.I really couldn't stand all the pretentious pseudo intellectual crap talking. And all the cigarette smoking, every single scene - looks so cool and rebellious... if you are 14 perhaps.Special marks to the black girl with the British accent for playing such an annoying, vapid, super pretentious bimbo. I'm sure in real life she is nothing like that, and she was really cast for her unique acting abilities.Tupac comes across as a pretentious wannabe poet rather than a street smart rapper. Watching him pretending to play double bass in a jazz band with his cracker buddy on keys, and the bimbo uttering faux deep bullshit in the mic... embarrassing!If I was a Tupac fanboy, I really wouldn't like to see this movie!

Sandcooler I watched this movie because Tim Roth is awesome, but as it turned out it has so much more to offer. First of all: even though it's entirely about drug abuse, it never turns overly dramatic. It's sad how these guys can't get a break, but it's also funny in some kind of sadistic way. Especially the abrupt ending captures that tone perfectly, it's so comically deadpan. Another thing that really surprised me was the acting talent of Tupac Shakur. Movies often used him as some kind of gimmick, but here he actually seems to be the best possible guy for the part. The whole appeal of the movie is actually to see the main characters interact, because the actors really work well together. They make this into a very grim but excellent drama/comedy.

jonnythemoose This is a good film. But, pay attention to the certificate rating, it is definitely not suitable for kids. Don't watch if you hate films about drugs, violence etc, because you could be appalled by this film. The two main leads, Shakur and Roth both do an excellent job, and make their parts believable, as do many of the less frequent characters. However, the plot is a little shaky. The film, although enjoyable, doesn't actually have much of a plot. It's just the two main characters trying to quit the habit, and then coming across their dead drug dealer...and then, they almost get killed, and then they are wanted by the police, and then their friend comes out of a coma, and they live happily ever after. The film just seems to stop dead at an ending, and i was taken off guard, expecting the film to last longer. Instead, you are left with an empty hole where a good ending should be. Because there really isn't any ending. Having said all that, it is worth a look, if you don't get offended easily!

there_is_a_killer Now, I'm a big Tupac fan and i watched gang related (another movie) which was said to be his best but he didn't act properly, to be honest he moved like he was retarded. (dont hate me 4 saying that, I'm stating the facts.) In Gridlock'd (this movie, he was probably the best actor on set) he acted naturally and UNlike a retard. I recommend people who like Tupac and people who like comedy to watch this,i thought it was pretty funny and clever humor.(...if that makes sense)i liked the music that was on it, i liked it. Tim Roth was another fine actor. he was funny in his own ways.
