Entertainment Reviews:
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.

Time Out
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.
Variety
Rating: 3/5 --
Hall shows taste and humor as a filmmaker, and he is fortunate to have three leads who bring quirkiness and style to his film.

Hartford Courant
Rating: B- --
While not entirely successful, there's enough humor and humanism amid gritty urban locations to recommend Gridlock'd.

Product Description:
When a friend OD's and winds up in a coma, a mismatched pair of Detroit junkies strive to seek help in kicking their heroin habit in government-sponsored programs, only to find themselves drowning in the comical--and sadly accurate--bureaucratic morass of sanctioned detox centers. An authentic, scathingly satiric black comedy debut from actor-turned-writer/director Vondie Curtis Hall, featuring the final big screen performance of murdered rapper Tupac Shakur.
