Gang Related (1997) **
This otherwise mediocre picture notheless achieves a perfect balance between a gritty police drama and a black comedy. Two evil cops (Shakur and Belushi) have a hard time framing an innocent man for murder. Every dirty trick they try blows in their faces. Some plot twists are ingenious, frighteningly cynical and very ironic. In this film, crime definitely doesn't pay.
