Plot: A pair of corrupt police officers discover the hard way that crime really doesn't pay in this action drama. Divinci (James Belushi) and Rodriguez (Tupac Shakur) are two New York undercover cops with serious money problems: Rodriguez owes a huge gambling debt, while Divinci wants to retire to Hawaii but lacks the cash. To stretch their paychecks, the partners pose as drug dealers, using narcotics confiscated as evidence; they sell the dope, and after receiving payment, they kill the buyers in carefully arranged drive-by shootings, always collecting the drugs afterward so that they can be sold again. The men try to morally justify their actions by claiming that they only kill people who need to be taken off the street anyway. Divinci's girlfriend, an exotic dancer named Cynthia (Lela Rochon), helps set the cops up with their latest victim, but after they've made the transaction, Divinci and Rodriguez discover the tables have been turned -- the purchaser is actually an undercover DEA agent. The DEA man winds up dead, and Divinci and Rodriguez are assigned to investigate the killing. Needing a fall guy, they try to frame a homeless man for the murder, but before long, their web of deception begins to collapse like a house of cards. Gang Related was the final film completed by rapper-turned-actor Tupac Shakur; he himself was the victim of a still-unsolved shooting in Las Vegas 13 months before the film was released. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Gang Related- A Last Performance.
Added 6/14/2009

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!
Added 8/12/2008

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

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.
