Review of Gang Related (1997) by Jake Hamilton for Empire — 29 Apr 2005

Writer/director Jim Kouf certainly knows his police procedures, packing the movie with sharp dialogue and authentic set pieces. Unfortunately, the final half-hour, with its told-you-so conclusion, takes the knife-edge away from what clearly could have been a masterly thriller.

Then again, just watching Tupac ponder death on the big screen is probably all the knife-edge you need.
