Maybe Gridlocked acted like an all-Paul Walker revue because it was super-smart instead of representative of everything that's wrong with Canadian cinema maybe the intro-to-third-act-conflict/monologue about how Hendrix was part of a secret unit-the one that did the nasty shit, the shit that other units wouldn't touch-was all a giant chain-yank. I spent a lot of Gridlocked trying to figure out if it was a Hot Fuzz sort-of satire. This leads to shootouts, and sitting around in the dark, and the discovery of meaningful tattoos that Hendrix identifies from his years of belonging to and fleeing from and hating tattooed organizations. The kind so packed to the brim with puerile ideas of "cool" that its greatest ambition isn't to be good, but to be the next The Boondock Saints.Īnyway, Hendrix and Brody and the gang are fucking around in the precinct when a band of evil, organized people led by Korver (Stephen Lang, still playing the role from Avatar that was supposed to have made him a star) breach the perimeter and engage in a lockdown/game of cat and mouse/struggle for survival. A couple minutes later, in one of those cinematic training mazes, Gina shoots a photo of a baddie in the crotch because, you know: lesbian. Anyway, Hendrix is part of a team of supercops that includes a pretty boy and a woman, Gina (WWE star Trish Stratus), who's introduced dressing in slow-motion, emasculating the pretty boy, and declaring herself "lesbian" on meeting Brody. The premise has something to do with how following along with this rogue, psychopathic cop is community service or something for Brody, as well as his.wait for it.last chance. Watch Brody, the Hollywood dick, irritate tough-as-nails Hendrix. That honour goes to Hendrix (Dominic Purcell), a supercop in the supercop mold who's partnered with Hollywood child star-turned-fuck-up felon Brody (Cody Hackman, playing Mark Wahlberg's haircut) because it'll be good for some laffs. It's so bad, in fact, that Sully isn't the star of the piece.
