An engaging look at a mangy day in the lives of two junkies trying to kick, Gridlock'd would have been a good mid-level B.O. performer even without the interest surrounding it, due to the recent death of co-star Tupac Shakur. May 2, 2008

The film has a fairly uninteresting narrative motor in its thriller subplot, but hits on an edgy black comic tone for Stretch and Spoon's increasingly pained dealings with the unsympathetic representatives of authority. Feb 9, 2006 | Full Review…

The film seems so fresh it's almost possible to forget that it is a fraud in its description of the culture of hard drugs. Jun 18, 2002 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The movie's appeal lies largely in its capacity for surprise, riffing off tired characters and pooped genres to produce, intermittently at least, a fresh new tone. Call it junkie humour. Apr 12, 2002 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Cast against type as the gentler of two musician junkies trying to burrow through the bureaucracy to enter a rehab clinic in Detroit, Shakur has the relaxed screen presence of a young Wesley Snipes and plays perfectly off the delirious Tim Roth. Feb 14, 2001 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

This is grim material, but surprisingly entertaining, and it is more cause to mourn the recent death of Shakur, who gives his best performance as Spoon, a musician who wants to get off drugs. Jan 1, 2000 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Hall shows taste and humor as a filmmaker, and he is fortunate to have three leads who bring quirkiness and style to his film. Apr 16, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A dark, effective satire about drug addiction that offers laughs as well as savage criticism of the US approach to dealing with users. May 2, 2008 | Full Review…

While not entirely successful, there's enough humor and humanism amid gritty urban locations to recommend Gridlock'd. May 2, 2008 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

The late Shakur is especially impressive as the brighter of the duo -- a frazzled but infinitely patient character with a touching faith that somehow, if the pair just keeps plugging away, everything will turn out okay. Jun 5, 2005 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
