NOTORIOUS Film Review

This is a full review of the feature film "NOTORIOUS" that has hit theaters on January 16, 2009 - narrated by filmmaker Hunter Baker.

Notorious centers on the life of murdered rapper Notorious B.I.G, from his beginnings as a Brooklyn crack dealer to East Coast hip-hop sensation. It is a drama - directed by George Tillman Jr. and starring Jamal Woolard, Derek Luke, Angela Bassett and more.

When Christopher Wallace, AKA the Notorious BIG, died in a hail of bullets in March 1997 at age 24, he left behind a compelling yet contradictory legacy as one of hip-hop's premiere personalities both in music and in life. So it is with "NOTORIOUS," a riveting but strangely elusive biopic from FOX Searchlight.

Filmed, Edited & Directed by Jon Edwards

10 year's in making? i bet you there are millions out there that look more like tupac then that fucker that plays him. they need to look back and change tupac's character, and he acts like a fucking bitch!, tupac was never like that. the movie is alright, but a disgrace to tupac at the same time, but biggie's character is perfect.

damn...biggie is a legend

@dan4380 i dont think so, i thought the guy who played pac was pretty good u need someone who not only somewhat lookd like pac but can also act, and he did sorta act like him when he ran up on biggie n shit that seems like what pac would do and how he jokes around n shit, watch interviews and videos of pac chillin he was alot like that

[vivelajonny]

i cant belive you guys hated the guy who played pac, i honestly liked the guy who played him i know he idint look like him but cmon it obivously aint easy to find someone who looks like pac AND CAN ACT, and i thought he played pac pretty good and they descirbed him in the movie pretty spot on, hes all philosophical one second and a thug the next, which is how pac was, and when he ran out of the truck yellin at biggie that seemed like what pac would do, and when hes joking around, seems like pac

This isn't a movie review this is just some dude dick riding the movie Notorious.

[tyrannosaurus62]

This movie was cool but...... I do not like how they made pac look like the bad guy. That's wrong. Let's see a pac movie and see who they play for biggie?.... huh. Fuck that. Rip pac n big. But they made pac look bad. Shady

[itachi005]

The character that played Pac fucking sucked though, sound and looked nothing like him

[BlackDude41]

@dan4380 I didnt even realize that was suppose to be Tupac until like 20 minutes after it first showed him.

[NiggaWiddaAttitude]

RIP Tupac & Biggie!

fuck tha haters!

2pac and biggie, best rappers ever, but i prefer 2pac because he told you what you want to hear and what you don't want to hear. but biggie was too commercial
