There are only a few films that I would give ten stars and this is one of them. I might be slightly bias due to the fact that I am a fan of 2pac but I truly believe that this is one of the best films that I have seen. It follows the story of two friends Spoon (2pac) and Stretch (Tim Roth) as they attempt to get into a rehab centre so that they can kick their drug addiction. The film which also features Thandie Newton really makes you feel like you are going on the journey with these characters as both 2pac and Tim Roth give very convincing performances in this brilliant film that in my opinion is underrated. I would recommend this film to most people but I think 2pac's fans will appreciate it most of all.

I watched this movie because Tim Roth is awesome, but as it turned out it has so much more to offer. First of all: even though it's entirely about drug abuse, it never turns overly dramatic. It's sad how these guys can't get a break, but it's also funny in some kind of sadistic way. Especially the abrupt ending captures that tone perfectly, it's so comically deadpan. Another thing that really surprised me was the acting talent of Tupac Shakur. Movies often used him as some kind of gimmick, but here he actually seems to be the best possible guy for the part. The whole appeal of the movie is actually to see the main characters interact, because the actors really work well together. They make this into a very grim but excellent drama/comedy.

This is a good film. But, pay attention to the certificate rating, it is definitely not suitable for kids. Don't watch if you hate films about drugs, violence etc, because you could be appalled by this film. The two main leads, Shakur and Roth both do an excellent job, and make their parts believable, as do many of the less frequent characters. However, the plot is a little shaky. The film, although enjoyable, doesn't actually have much of a plot. It's just the two main characters trying to quit the habit, and then coming across their dead drug dealer...and then, they almost get killed, and then they are wanted by the police, and then their friend comes out of a coma, and they live happily ever after. The film just seems to stop dead at an ending, and i was taken off guard, expecting the film to last longer. Instead, you are left with an empty hole where a good ending should be. Because there really isn't any ending. Having said all that, it is worth a look, if you don't get offended easily!

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
