more Laborious than Notorious
a shallow, shoddy rehashing unworthy of its subject
a fictionalized film biography of Shakur, directed by Benny Boom and starring Demetrius Shipp Jr., is not only a clumsy and often bland account of his life and work, but it also gives little genuine insight into his thought, talent or personality
a badly botched biopic that won't earn Shakur any new fans and will disappoint the ones he has
