MasterBator AnonymousI would have gave it a higher rating if the bitch would’ve died because she annoyed me. Other than that it was a good movie especially due to the message it was trying to get across.2019-09-07 10:09

Critic Reviews of "Gridlockd"
VarietyMay 02, 2008An 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.
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006The 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.
San Francisco ChronicleJune 18, 2002The film seems so fresh it's almost possible to forget that it is a fraud in its description of the culture of hard drugs.
Globe and MailApril 12, 2002The 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.
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 14, 2001Cast 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.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000This 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.
Film4May 02, 2008A dark, effective satire about drug addiction that offers laughs as well as savage criticism of the US approach to dealing with users.
Reeling ReviewsMay 02, 2008While not entirely successful, there's enough humor and humanism amid gritty urban locations to recommend Gridlock'd.
Austin ChronicleJune 05, 2005The 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.
Aisle SeatSeptember 01, 2003A very underrated film that is also very truthful
Cincinnati EnquirerOctober 17, 2002Written and directed by actor Vondie Curtis Hall, the film blends savvy and sour-mash humor with bone-deep sadness that recalls predecessors as varied as After Hours and Trainspotting.
