Gang Related (1997)
4/10
Confuse the witness.......
5 November 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Two corrupt cops murder an undercover DEA agent by mistake, and frantically try to cover their tracks by framing a homeless man for the crime.

That involves juggling evidence, coaching witnesses, and improvising to keep their desperate scheme from unravelling...

James Belushi should stick to comedy, or be a comedy sidekick. There is a lot of talk of Tupac becoming a great 'actor', and while he is okay in this, there is nothing to show he could have been the next big thing.

The way rappers or 'hip hop stars' do in movies, i'm sure he'd be concentrating on his music, or making straight to blu ray movies with Snipes.

The premise of this film is so so good, and has great potential, that it's such a shame it's treated in such a hap-hazard way.

Belushi is unbelievable as a dirty cop, and i was expecting Jerry Lee to come to his rescue.

There are the inevitable double crosses and the predictable ending. It tries to be like a gritty seventies cop movie, but ends up dreary and boring.

Quaid is the saving grace in this movie, and his character is the most interesting arc in the whole movie. It's a shame he's not in it longer.
