Review of Gang Related (1997) by Stephen Hunter for Washington Post — 11 Jan 2007
Shakur is superb, as I said, but so is Belushi. Initially a kind of glowering Bozo whose very sleaze is seductive and whose efficiency is attractive -- he's very Dirty Harry-like in his solutions to criminal problems -- he drifts off, almost banally, into the most repellent of all evils, the criminal sociopath masquerading under the flag of authority and using the system to hide his tracks.
He stops being funny and merely becomes horrifying.
