Directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall. With Tupac Shakur, Tim Roth, Thandie Newton, Charles Fleischer. After a friend overdoses, Spoon and Stretch decide to kick their drug habits and attempt to enroll in a government detox program. Their efforts are hampered by seemingly endless red tape, as they are shuffled from one office to another while being chased by drug dealers and the police.

This gritty urban comedy focuses on three heroin addicts, one of whom must be rushed to a hospital after an overdose. As the condition of Cookie remains to be foretold, the other two try desperately to get into a rehabilitation clinic but face a never-ending wall of red tape.

It is possible to imagine "Gridlock'd'' as a movie of despair and desperation, but that would involve imagining it without Tupac Shakur and Tim Roth, who illuminate it with a gritty, goofy comic spirit. 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.
