Short Summary:



In this hard-edged drama with a strong undercurrent of dark comedy, Stretch (Tim Roth) and Spoon (Tupac Shakur) are two friends who share both a passion for music and a dependence on heroin. Stretch and Spoon play in a jazz combo with Cookie (Thandie Newton), and after a New Year's Eve gig, they score drugs and get high together. Cookie lacks her friends' experience with hard drugs and soon ends up in the hospital after a severe overdose. Cookie's brush with death turns out to be a serious reality check for Stretch and Spoon, and they decide that it's time to kick drugs and get clean and sober. But both men know that they can't get off heroin on their own, and therein lies the problem; as they try to navigate a complex maze of social service agencies (who can't help them get treatment because they aren't on welfare), drug treatment facilities (one of which turns them away because they're only equipped to handle alcoholics), and hospitals (where, in order to be admitted as emergency patients, Stretch and Spoon ponder how to go about stabbing each other) in search of a detox program. The two friends begin to wonder if it might simply be easier to stay on drugs than to get healthy. Gridlock'd marked the feature film directorial debut for actor Vondie Curtis Hall, best known for his work on the TV series Chicago Hope; Elizabeth Pena and John Sayles both appear in supporting roles. Rap musician-turned actor Tupac Shakur, who played Spoon, died in a drive-by shooting four months prior to the release of this film. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Short Summary:



A pair of corrupt police officers discover the hard way that crime really doesn't pay in this action drama. Divinci (James Belushi) and Rodriguez Tupac Shakur) are two New York undercover cops with serious money problems: Rodriguez owes a huge gambling debt, while Divinci wants to retire to Hawaii but lacks the cash. To stretch their paychecks, the partners pose as drug dealers, using narcotics confiscated as evidence; they sell the dope, and after receiving payment, they kill the buyers in carefully arranged drive-by shootings, always collecting the drugs afterward so that they can be sold again. The men try to morally justify their actions by claiming that they only kill people who need to be taken off the street anyway. Divinci's girlfriend, an exotic dancer named Cynthia (Lela Rochon), helps set the cops up with their latest victim, but after they've made the transaction, Divinci and Rodriguez discover the tables have been turned -- the purchaser is actually an undercover DEA agent. The DEA man winds up dead, and Divinci and Rodriguez are assigned to investigate the killing. Needing a fall guy, they try to frame a homeless man for the murder, but before long, their web of deception begins to collapse like a house of cards. Gang Related was the final film completed by rapper-turned-actor Tupac Shakur; he himself was the victim of a still-unsolved shooting in Las Vegas 13 months before the film was released. - Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Short Summary:



Butch "Bullet" Stein is a Jewish junkie from the mean streets of Brooklyn, is paroled after eight years in prison. Butch rips off a runner for local drug dealer, Tank, and is soon right back into his old habits of snorting coke and shooting up heroin with his best friend Lester. Enraged by Butch's affront and already determined to get revenge on him for a past wrong, Tank sets about getting even with his old enemy by hiring a hulking brute, Gates to beat Butch. When the confrontation occurs, however, Gates breaks his hand on the battle-hardened Butch. Besides Lester, the only people in Butch's corner are his two brothers, the mentally-unhinged Vietnam War veteran Louis and aspiring artist Ruby, neither of whom can be counted on to help him in the inevitable showdown.

Short Summary:

Bishop (Shakur), Q (Epps), Raheem (Kain) and Steel (Hopkins), who refer to themselves as "The Wrecking Crew," are four friends growing up in Harlem. They regularly skip school and spend their days at a neighborhood arcade and a record store stealing LPs. They are generally harassed everyday by the police or a gang led by Radames. One day, the boys grow tired of harassment and decide to go all out to win respect. They go to a store to rob the place. In the process, Bishop ends up needlessly murdering store owner Fernando Quiles, an act which begins his spiral into darkness. After the boys flee the scene, they gather in an abandoned building and argue over the evening's events. Raheem and Bishop begin to argue with each other, and Raheem tries to take the gun back from Bishop. A struggle ensues and Bishop shoots Raheem. The boys panic and run to another building. While there, Bishop threatens to kill the other two if they tell anyone about what Bishop has done.

The other two boys talk to each other and agree to avoid Bishop as much as possible, though they end up seeing him at Raheem's funeral, even going so far as to hug Raheem's mother and promising to find Raheem's killer. They are mostly successful in their attempts to avoid Bishop but he ends up confronting them one at a time, questioning their loyalty.

Bishop ends up killing gang leader Radames after a scuffle and begins to frame Q as the murderer of Quiles, Raheem and Radames. Q looks for help and ends up getting a gun of his own for protection. While he is doing this, Bishop meets Steel and leads him to an empty alley, where he shoots him, accusing him of disloyalty. Steel, however, lives and makes it to the hospital and informs Q's girlfriend (Cindy Herron) that he is being framed by Bishop. Fed up with both the tension and troubles guns have brought upon him, Q throws his gun into the river and decides to confront Bishop unarmed. Q and Bishop finally meet up and a scuffle and chase ensues during this meeting. Q is chased into a building then a party by Bishop, where Q disarms Bishop and the chase ends on the roof of a high-rise

. The two boys fight until Bishop falls off the ledge only to have one hand caught by Q. Bishop tells Q not to let go. Q struggles to pull him back up but eventually loses his grip and Bishop falls to his death.

As Q leaves the rooftop, a crowd from the party gathers to see what happened. One of the people in the crowd turns to Q and says, "Yo, you got the juice now, man." Q turns to look at him, shakes his head and walks away. The film ends with a flashback clip of the four friends together in happier times. (Form wikipedia.org)
