Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Cast 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.
– Jack Mathews,
Los Angeles Times,
14 Feb 2001
fresh:
The 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.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,
12 Apr 2002
rotten:
The film seems so fresh it's almost possible to forget that it is a fraud in its description of the culture of hard drugs.
– Peter Stack,
San Francisco Chronicle,
18 Jun 2002
fresh:
The 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.
– Derek Adams,
Time Out,
9 Feb 2006
fresh:
An 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.
– Todd McCarthy,
