Wow! Such a good movie.
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The trailer looked like fun, but it's been a while since I have seen such a boring flick! The current IMDb rating of 7 must be because of all the Tupac fanboys.I really couldn't stand all the pretentious pseudo intellectual crap talking. And all the cigarette smoking, every single scene - looks so cool and rebellious... if you are 14 perhaps.Special marks to the black girl with the British accent for playing such an annoying, vapid, super pretentious bimbo. I'm sure in real life she is nothing like that, and she was really cast for her unique acting abilities.Tupac comes across as a pretentious wannabe poet rather than a street smart rapper. Watching him pretending to play double bass in a jazz band with his cracker buddy on keys, and the bimbo uttering faux deep bullshit in the mic... embarrassing!If I was a Tupac fanboy, I really wouldn't like to see this movie!
Didn't intend to watch but was flicking channels and hooked from the first few minutes. Maybe I should have known, but didn't realise it was Tupac Shakur initially - just thought I was watching a good actor I'd not seen before. A real shame such a talented man's life was taken..Roth & Shakur work incredibly well together despite some initial feelings that Shakur just seemed too cool to be hanging out with someone like Roth, but it works as the story moves along. Would recommend this to anyone as a well presented story with some genuinely funny moments...very minor SPOILER alert...watch out for the scene with the pocket knife later in the movie, great funny scene.
Extraordinary chemistry between Tim Roth and Tupac Shakur is the best feature about this movie.The situations are really interesting with a bit of black humor and some action going on. Tupac Shakur, against all criticism, delivers a solid, believable, likable performance. Tim Roth is amazing and delivers a badass performance as the "cool" junkie with a bad attitude.I really dig how they care for each other and how they help each other whenever there's trouble. The drug sub-plot is also interesting and very good carried on.Years ago I mentioned on another review that this was the best on-screen duo of 1997. I still think the same.
How about the scene in the burger shop? A silent running, so quick that the cigarette smokes are still in air... THE FUNNIEST SCENE OF ALL TIME. Applause goes to Vondie Curtis-Hall. 2pac shows how to act. Tim Roth shows how to be a black. Gonna Watch it again
