Movie Description
When a friend OD's and winds up in a coma, a mismatched pair of Detroit junkies strive to seek help in kicking their heroin habit in government-sponsored programs, only to find themselves drowning in the comical--and sadly accurate--bureaucratic morass of sanctioned detox centers. An authentic, scathingly satiric black comedy debut from actor-turned-writer/director Vondie Curtis Hall, featuring the final big screen performance of murdered rapper Tupac Shakur.
Industry Reviews
"...Shakur is perfectly matched with Tim Roth as manic Stretch. The British actor revels in impersonating American lowlifes..." -- 3 out of 4 stars
USA Today - p.3D - Susan Wloszczyna
"...[Shakur] lends Spoon a tremor of sorrow, projecting a supple emotionalism..."
Entertainment Weekly - p.38-9 - Owen Gleiberman (01/31/1997)
"...A smart, well-made buddy film....[Shakur] played this part with an appealing mix of presence, confidence and humor..."
New York Times - p.C12 - Janet Maslin (01/29/1997)
"...Shakur has the relaxed presence of a young Wesley Snipes and plays perfectly off the delirious Tim Roth..."
Los Angeles Times - Jack Mathews (01/29/1997)
"...This is grim material, but surprisingly entertaining....[Shakur] gives his best performance..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (01/29/1997)
