Other drug dealers hunt them down when they discover that Stretch sold them a bogus VCR, a brick-filled VCR box. They had hopes of selling the stuff to finance kicking their habits. They did not do it, but they did take the remaining drugs from the recently murdered dealer. To further complicate matters, they are suspected by the police of murdering a drug dealer. With each by-the-book response from government workers, Spoon and Stretch get increasingly frustrated. They fill out many forms and are told that they must wait from 10 days to six weeks to get treatment. Because they do not have insurance or Medicare, the men must deal with bureaucracy. The idea of losing their friend, lover and lead singer causes Spoon and Stretch to go on a city-wide search for a drug rehabilitation program that will take them. Spoon and Stretch drag her to a very busy emergency room, where the doctors tell her she has a 50-50 chance of recovering.

The movie begins with Cookie going into a coma from a drug overdose. 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.
