Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Kevin Chen This movie contains almost zero facts despite it being a documentary. Not only does the narrator add conclusions based on absolutely nothing, his voice is absolutely horrid to hear. To bear this voice for the rest of the movie is a task the gods could have given to Hercules himself. If that's not enough, the interviewer (also the narrator) has no clue how to do a proper interview. He not only asks the wrong questions but he also asks them to the wrong people. Assuming friendships on no solid evidence. The only thing worth watching in this documentary is the old video fragments of Tupac and Biggie. However the internet makes this movie absolutely not worthwhile to watch since these video fragments can probably be found online.

josh-hall I saw Nick Broomfield's documentary of 2pac and Biggie after seeing 'Kurt and Courtney'and i loved that and just the whole style of Broomfields movies.Also already being a huge Tupac and Biggie fan anyway i was really exited about this film and i must say i was not disappointed whatsoever.The film is told in such a unique style and was amazing to me the things that Broomfield and us as an audience find out on his journey to find out more about the Biggie/Tupac murders. The people he interviews such as a confined prisoner who was believed to have helped Suge Knight organise the Biggie murder,ex-police officer Russel Poole who was investigating the Biggie murder and the corruption on his own police force surrounding it and even a prison interview with Death Row records producer and friend of Tupac, Suge Knight. The information they all nervously give Broomfield and his crew make it a very astonishing film and one to really listen to.This film should not go missed. 10 out of 10.

Dr. Gore *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*Nick Broomfield decides to get to the bottom of the Tupac Shakur-Notorious B.I.G. murders. He has a strong ally in Voletta Wallace, Biggie's mom. She is a big reason this movie is as succesful as it is. Through her cooperation, many former friends of Biggie open up to Broomfield. Another big score for Broomfield is Russell Poole, a former L.A. cop who wants to tell Broomfield all about his feelings toward Death Row records and the LAPD. They're not good.This is the third documentary I've seen of Broomfield's after "Heidi Fleiss" and "Kurt and Courtney". He's got a soft spoken style which encourages a lot of people to open up to him. You may think this documentary is about "Biggie and Tupac" but it's really about what all of his documentaries are about: Nick Broomfield. Each one is set up as an adventure in interviewing. Will he be able to score an interview with this or that important person? What hoops will Broomfield have to go through to get to THE TRUTH? Once again, Broomfield bags his big game interview in the end. He is tenacious and scores a trophy for his wall.I enjoy Broomfield's style of interviewing. "Biggie and Tupac" didn't really have his normal interviewing tactic of talking nice to someone and then increasing the pressure on them to expose THE TRUTH. In "Kurt and Courtney" he did it to Courtney's relative, "Why? Why do you care?" and in "Heidi Fleiss" he put the pressure on Heidi's boyfriend to cough up some truth about their relationship. "Biggie and Tupac" was a more relaxed approach to the subject. Early on in the flick, he says Miss Wallace asked him not to be so abrasive. I think he listened.

davideo-2 STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All CostsThe 'thug lifestyle' surrounding hardcore rap music is thankfully just an image thing with the majority of it's singers.Sadly,a gunman didn't seem to feel that way of the titular duo.This is the sad true story of Biggie Smalls and Tupac (or 2Pac) Shakur,two of gangsta raps most famous icons who both met tragic untimely deaths at the hands of gunmen (or just one gunman?),and all in a relatively short time-frame of each other.No,rap and what it preached was not just business to these two individuals.....it meant life.Nick Broomfield's documentary charts how the East-Coast/West-Coast rivalry came about,and how the one time two best friends allowed fame and money to corrupt them and turn them pretty much into sworn enemies.Digging up archive footage and mixing it with interviews,it inevitably drags in parts,but for the most part it's very engrossing stuff and certainly evokes many thoughts and opinions on what really went on.***
