Reviews for Gang Related
Writer-director Jim Kouf crams the screen with enough incident, coincidence and characters to keep you watching.
An ambitious but instantly generic urban crime drama that conjures up the usual assortment of cliched' streetwise grittiness
There are several clever twists in the story, though Kouf never quite manages to make much of it seem credible.
I won't pretend to know anything about Shakur's music, but his death robbed filmgoers of an actor who only began to show his talent.
