They play together, live together, sometimes even sleep together. As it turns out, the three are partners, members of a bohemian spoken-word/jazz trio. They drag her to the hospital and go off into the night, numb but shaken, determined to change their lives. Gridlock’d opens with a jolt: On New Year’s Eve, Stretch (Roth) and Spoon (Shakur), holed up in their garbage-strewn loft, discover that Cookie (Thandie Newton), the slinky beauty they’re with, has overdosed herself into a coma. Making his debut as a filmmaker, Curtis Hall, an actor himself ( Chicago Hope, William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet), shows a gift for back talk and confrontation, for the hardscrabble comedy of urban decay, and for an electric storytelling style that sometimes shades off into B-movie glibness. Gridlock’d doesn’t have the imaginative vision of a movie like Trainspotting, yet it’s more literally true to the haphazard torpor of the junkie life than anything we’ve seen on screen since Drugstore Cowboy. Desperate to get into rehab, they’re tossed from one ugly fluorescent-lit government office to the next, a comedy of urban errors that escalates in insanity when the police mistake them for killers. As Gridlock’d goes on, the two have run-ins with cops, drug dealers, gangsters, and a welfare bureaucracy so rusty and sclerotic you’d call it Kafkaesque were there any real design to it. Written and directed by Vondie Curtis Hall, the movie, set in the squalid backstreets of Detroit, is a vibrantly gritty lower-depths comedy, a tale of hapless junkie thieves, played by Shakur and Tim Roth, who bum around the city like a couple of alley cats, torn between their desire to score and their desperation to kick. But Gridlock’d, which he completed two months before his death in a still-unsolved shooting incident last September, proves that he had the dynamism and flair of a major screen actor. Best scene in underrated film GRIDLOCK’D about 2 guys trying to kick.We’ll never know if Tupac Shakur could have been a movie star. This is grim material, but surprisingly entertaining … GRIDLOCK’D (1997, Curtis-Hall) Best Scene “rules are rules” Tupac Shakur 2pac Tim Roth. It is possible to imagine “Gridlock’d” as a movie of despair and desperation, but that would involve imagining it without Tupac Shakur and Tim Roth, who illuminate it with a gritty, goofy comic spirit. Their efforts are hampered by seemingly endless red tape, as they are shuffled from one office to another while being chased by drug dealers and the police. After a friend overdoses, Spoon and Stretch decide to kick their drug habits and attempt to enroll in a government detox program.
