Review of Gang Related

Gang Related (1997)
7/10
Tupac Shakur shines, Lela Rochon whines.
17 September 2000
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is guaranteed to appeal to several groups: fans of Tupac Shakur, fans of "Law & Order" style drama, and fans of gritty movies about bad people who do bad things and get their just desserts. The irony of this film is that even though Tupac portrays one of these "bad" people, you end up rooting for him anyway. That is the power of his acting in this film - his character has a moral conscience, and you keep rooting for him to do the right thing - although inevitably it comes much too late. Also, despite Lela Rochon's constant whining through the film, you really do +want+ to find out whether she lives or dies at the end - it's the only thing this film leaves unrevealed.
