Gridlock’d (1997)

When their bandmate Thandiwe Newton almost dies of an overdose, Tupac Shakur and Tim Roth’s attempts to enroll in a government sponsored detox program are waylaid by bureaucracy. The buddy comedy aspects of this are great as are the shots of the duo navigating the streets of New York, trying to find the one office that’s actually willing to do something rather than shuffle them to a different department. In a rather small cast, there’s some nice supporting roles here Howard Hesseman and director Vondie Curtis-Hall that offer bits of flavor to the experience.
