This is How Movies Should Be Made

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I couldn't even stand it to watch it to the end. I gave up at the scene, when 2pac debates on where the best spot he could be stabbed would be in to make sure he gets injured without getting to close to death.OK, this flick is about two guys who are desperate to get into rehab. They strongly believe that has to happen here and now and only the big baaaad bureaucracy prevents those brilliant men from getting on the right path. It's simply pathetic. And all this pseudo-intellectualism, like them playing in a jazz band (actually in those scenes the music is pretty good) or seeing them debate on the meaning of life.It's a real cheesy flick full of scenes where you think "Who the hell wrote this script", "Did those guys actually get paid for doing this" or "My 3-year old kid is better at dialogs". A total waste of time.

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!

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.

This movie is a pretty good movie. I seen the movie because my favorite rapper of all time was in it 2Pac. He did not disappoint either. His acting in any movie he has ever done has been incredible, and his humor in this movie is also hilarious. Tim Roth does a great job as well as the other crackhead known as 'Stretch'.The characters background or anything else like that isnt too deep, but this movie doesnt have to be.After Cookie OD's on crack, Spoon(Shakur) and Stretch(Roth) decide to kick their old habits by trying to enter a rehab center. Getting the run-around all day by different centers and getting chased by drug-dealers who want their coke back, Spoon and Stretch have just about had enough it almost feels as if their gridlock'd. Funny, Witty, And Cool Movie. If your a Pac Fan See It. If Ur A Fan Of Movies/Comedy see it.5/5 Stars
