A solid and entertaining "Trainspotting" trading in some of the stylishness for a little satire. Roth and Tupac make great duo, which is a pretty bizarre thing to hear myself say. I honestly wonder where he would have gotten to if he hadn't died.

I couldn't get over Roth's accent (was it New York, Irish, Australian, or what!?), but other than that, a strong performance by both Shakur and Roth, who foil each other well, if not a little too well.

Powerful crime tale about two guys just trying to get by. Galllows humor and the fierceness of Shakur's screen time lend it gravitas. It's more the shame to the film than music world over Tupac's death.

It's like After Hours (albeit in broad daylight) mixed with the bureaucratic satire of Brazil. It's both funny and pathetic to watch Roth and Shakur run around town at their wit's end, their desperation to enter detox manifesting itself in a series of increasingly reckless decisions, spurned at every turn by the seedier elements of their low-bottom lifestyle and the indifference of local government employees. Also, hoo boy, Thandie Newton is hot.

Great performances from the two leads, and even if the rehab-bureaucracy-healthcare plot isn't that interesting (but an important criticism of another failed part of US society though...), there are enough positives from moments and dialogue throughout to make this quite enjoyable. *Preview*: #13#, exp-3*, story, reviews, cast, R2.

Too full of hand-me-down stylishness to tell its story well or to offer any true understanding for its characters, the movie lacks the ironic detachment or incisive sting to make up for it, and undermines its message by failing to portray a junkie's life as being any worse than just a tine in the city's wheel or just plain down-and-out. Even Roth's affected, over-the-top eccentricity feels like a '90s exercise in pulp style that's ambitious but just not bright enough to come off right.

A funny and well-observed satire, with both Tupac and Tim Roth on good form.

Had he lived, Tupac would have been the first rapper to win an Oscar.

One of the better Tarantino/TRAINSPOTTING imitaters; the sensibilities of QUICK CHANGE through a Ken Loach filter mark this portrait of a bureaucracy designed to be obstructionist; Curtis-Hall's script has enough tart zingers to also make the case for personal responsibility, which adds an intriguing flavour. Perhaps less successful when leaning on cliched gangster action tropes, but Roth and Shakur's excellent performances (and winning chemistry) help smooth the rough edges.

klişeleri karakterlerinin gamsızlığı sayesinde bunaltmadan kullanabilen beklemediğim kadar eğlenceli, canlı bir film. söylemi ne yeni ne de zarif belki ama ortada olanı kafaya vurmak için çabalamıyor olması ve komediyi ön plana almasıyla yükseliyor.

Tupac'ın öldürülmeden önceki son filmi olan Gridlock’d,uyuşturucu müptelası iki arkadaşın ABD bürokrasisi içerisinde rehabilitasyon olma çabalarını konu ediniyor.Gridlock’d yoğun bir sistem eleştirisini içinde barındıran,ABD içinde özellikle fakir ve azınlıkta olan insanların ne denli zor bir hayat mücadelesi içerisinde olduğunu oldukça sert ve çoğu zamanda kara mizah tonunda anlatan oldukça iyi bir film.

Decently written and directed comedy from Vondie Curtis-Hall who is better known as an actor. A pair of junkies played by Tupac and the overqualified Tim Roth are chased around by gun-totting thugs, but the main story is their struggle to get themselves on government-funded rehab, which provides for many jabs at prohibitive medical bureaucracy and an apathetic and stupid police. A modest, human-sized film; none of it is ha-ha funny, but it's engaging and different.
