RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

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!
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!
fruitiepebbles420 A modern day adventure, Gridlocked takes you on a ride that feels like you're trying to kick a drug habit like our two heros. I would put this drug-addiction movie in the same category as Requiem for a Dream, Spun, and Trainspotting. Tupac delivers and his chemistry with Stretch is amazing.
Mark 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
