A classic example of a good idea ruined by Hollywood formulas. Jim Belushi and Tupac Shakur (in his last performance) are two corrupt cops with an effective scheme: they rob and kill drug dealers. Unfortunately, one of their victims turns out to be an undercover agent for the DEA, and the two bad cops have to scramble to find a suspect to pin the murder on. Soon they're caught in a web of missing evidence, false witnesses, and frayed nerves--Gang Related could have been a lean film noir, slowly tightening until the men break under the pressure. Unfortunately, this isn't the 1940s, and suddenly the plot takes an absurd twist into the most melodramatic coincidence imaginable. It's too bad. Also featuring the lovely Lela Rochon, James Earl Jones, David Paymer, and a surprise performance by Dennis Quaid. --Bret Fetzer
Description
Two killers are hiding where no one will ever find them...behind their badges! Tupac Shakur (in hisfinal and most riveting performance) and James Belushi are two corrupt police detectives caught in a dangerous web of deceit in this "gritty, smart and tough" (CBS-TV) action thriller that will hold you in its grip from start to finish. Detectives Divinci (Belushi) and Rodriguez (Shakur) practice their own deadly brand of street justice: They set up drug deals, seize the money for themselves and then murder the dealers. It's a lucrative racket that has worked without a hitch for months. But when they discover that their latest victim was an undercover officer with the Drug Enforcement Agency, the two corrupt cops are forced to initiate a dangerous scheme to save their own lives. And as their "foolproof" plan begins to spin madly out of control, Divinci and Rodriguez are trapped in a tornado of suspicion, betrayal and murder in which they can trust no one...not even each other.

 Gang Related- A Last Performance. June 14, 2009
Jose Lopez (Miami,Florida USA)
This movie came out after Pac's Death, If I recall correctly. Good Movie, Good Acting, Belushi does a Good Job. A Sinister role he plays. James Earl Jones is in there as well. long movie. but Worth watching.

 Very disappointing! August 12, 2008
Julius
I caught this the year after it came out in theaters one night on Cinemax. I saw most of the brief movie career of 2pac up until that point with the exception of this and Poetic Justice. I loved Juice, Gridlock'd was ok at the time but I love that movie now as well, Bullet was somewhat enjoyable, and Above The Rim was ok. But I wanted to give Gang Related a look since 2pac was in it. The plot seemed choppy to me and I can't really picture Jim Belushi in a serious role. He was a square peg in a round hole. 2pac's performance wasn't on the level of his Bishop performance in Juice. This film is a pretty disappointing last one for 2pac. Easily one of the worst 100 movies I ever saw. Although it's a bit better than that terrible Cuba Gooding Jr. movie 'Dirty'. But still pass up on Gang Related. The plot here is all over the place. Gang Related just doesn't have the "Juice" like 2pac's first acting role!
 Could have been so much better April 8, 2008
Derrick Dunn (Woodbridge,VA)
Gang Related had me a bit exicted back in 97 it was the last movie performance of Tupac. I was also more of a fan of Tupac the actor than of Tupac the rapper and he's the only good thing in this slow paced and somewhat predictable movie. James Belushi makes a horrible bad guy and Dennis Quaid is watsed. See this one just for Shakur's performance.
