Desson Howe, for the Washington Post, wrote, "Shakur and Roth, who seem born for these roles, are allowed to take charge – and have fun doing it".

I can't see anybody else in the movie now apart from Tupac. Larry Fishburne wanted to do it, but we couldn't afford him. It took about another six months to get Tupac because he'd just got out of jail and nobody wanted to touch him.īut there was this one company that really wanted to do the film with Tupac and, once they okayed it, things got a little easier. He read it on the plane back and got on board straight away. Tim was doing Rob Roy in Scotland when I sent him the script. That's the way it usually goes in Hollywood. Then Tupac's record company came up with the money and PolyGram turned around and said, 'Hey, we always liked this movie' (laughs). It's like saying you can't do two romantic comedies. Then PolyGram had just put Trainspotting out and were like, 'We can't do two movies about heroin.' I didn't know anything about Trainspotting. And people were expecting it to be a real depressing movie about a couple of dope fiends. It wasn't that easy because it was about smack, which is a bit of a taboo subject here. I remembered that when it came to writing my first movie. So we ended up wandering around from place to place, no one giving us any help. We were doing a bit of everything and were both sixteen, living with our folks, so we couldn't give our address in case they got to know about what we were doing. Next day, we went to try and get into rehab. One day my best friend, the bassist, and I were sitting around and decided that maybe we could actually play better if we weren't stoned all the time. That was the way we thought we could play faster guitar, write better songs. It's largely autobiographical, with a lot of it coming from the time when I was a teenager in Detroit, playing guitar and singing in bands. Throughout a disastrous day, the two addicts dodge police and local criminals while struggling with an apathetic government bureaucracy that thwarts their entrance to a drug rehabilitation program. Spoon and Stretch decide to kick their habit after Cookie overdoses on her first hit. They are in a band – in the spoken word genre – called Eight Mile Road, with Cookie on lead vocals, Spoon on bass guitar and Stretch on piano. Set in Detroit, Gridlock'd centers around heroin addicts Spoon, Stretch and Cookie.

Lets all pray David Hasselhoff doesn't get beyond T.V. There's even a part when Hasselhoff tries to do the hanging from a Fireman's hose scene, but he shimmies down the side! If you're looking for the kind of film that would make Channel 5 question its taste, or make the bargain bin snigger, this is wonderful. You'll find more character in an empty fish tank, and Hasselhoff may as well head back to the beach, or even better, go get Kit back from servicing. Of course there's the beautiful woman for Hasselhoff to schmaltz with, though she was probably only in it for the cash. The only entertaining aspect to this film is the villain, who intends to ransack a big bag of dosh, and even has the standard goatee beard and evil smile. In this pathetic and powerless attempt to give Hasselhoff the part of an action hero, this picture tries to replicate action classic "Die Hard" (1988), and doesn't just trip up, but gets its head stuck in the railings at the same time. shows "Knight Rider and "Baywatch", it was pretty likely and pretty unfortunate that David Hasselhoff would attempt to make a mark in the movies.
