![]() ![]() It needs to bomb to put the people behind it to shame. 1997 1 hr 51 min R Action Crime Drama Two men face the consequences after they kill a man and pin the murder on an innocent transient. It doesn't deserve any box office plaudits. When you see the movie, you know who I am, he says. But it’s not the gang leader Radames that lays hands on Bishop but one of Tupac’s close friends, Treach. My recommendation, do not pay to go see this movie at the cinema. Treach recalls being a part of one pivotal scene in the film when Pac’s Bishop is surrounded by a Puerto Rican gang and a confrontation ensues. With the recent success of the movies Straight Outta Compton and All Eyes on Me, and numerous documentaries on the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie. Someone needs to pick this back up and do a movie that actually fits his legacy, I'm not even a big fan of rap music or Tupac, but if the Biggie Smalls movie and NWA movie got such great reviews and actually did a good job, I can't imagine how annoyed Tupac fans are feeling that this is by far the weaker of the free. Although the acting wasn't too bad and mostly the script was shabby, I've always thought Romany Malco would be a better fit for Tupac since he has a stronger on-screen presence and more acting experience. Perhaps the next director who picks this up should remember that. It's too scared to show anything that may put him in a bad light, but fans of Tupac accept his flaws and respect him regardless. People know he wasn't perfect, he was flawed, he was paranoid and he had a hot temper to go with it. One of the biggest things I noticed was that Tupac was almost too perfect. The controversial sexual assault scene did not go the way he said it went so I'm wondering how much more was fiction. It barely touches on his younger life, glosses over the main bits and moves on way too fast. Two men face the consequences after they kill a man and pin the murder on an innocent transient. They said John Singleton was trying to defame Tupac with his script, I'm starting to wonder if they lied. ![]()
