Tim Roth plays Stretch, who plays piano in a jazz band accompanied by his roommates, Spoon (Tupac Shakur) and Cookie (Thandie Newton). Tupac Shakur’s last movie prior to his murder, GRIDLOCK’D is billed as a comedy, but features unpleasant and difficult scenes of despair and violence, punctuated by an extreme number of obscenities. GRIDLOCK’D shows two men in Detroit who seek to find a rehabilitation center that will accept them. Since Tupac Shakur was gunned down before its release, GRIDLOCK’D might stand as a testament that all of us must take responsibility for our sinful actions or face the consequences. The violence, drug use and dirty streets are unpleasant to watch. This movie is a good contender for having the greatest number of obscenities in a movie this year. In this movie, the nuances of the struggle of these men are obscured by an excessive amount of angry, obscene words. When the crisis comes, Stretch and Spoon conceive of a plan that will keep them alive by putting them into a hospital emergency room. With each by-the-book response from government workers, Spoon and Stretch get increasingly frustrated. Because they do not have insurance or Medicare, the men must wait from 10 days to six weeks. The idea of losing their friend causes Spoon and Stretch to go on a city wide search for a drug rehabilitation program. When Cookie goes into a coma from a drug overdose, Spoon and Stretch drag her to a very busy emergency room. In GRIDLOCK’D, Tim Roth plays an American, named Stretch, who plays piano in a jazz band with his roommates, Spoon, played by Tupac Shakur, and Cookie, played by Thandie Newton.
