Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This documentary was very interesting and informative about the Tupac - Biggie relationship. The information they get is believable and their research is impressive.The only problem I have with the documentary is that it lacks a little bit of charisma and some things are not explained very well.

In 1996, the music industry was rocked at the news that multi-million selling rapper Tupac Shakur was gunned down in his car after attending an event in Las Vegas, and later died from internal injuries. A year later, another giant in the rap industry, Notorious B.I.G., was also murdered in similar circumstances from a drive-by shooting. To this day, their murders remain two of the most famously unsolved murders in history. Documentary film-maker Nick Broomfield starts his own investigation, and starts asking questions and sticking his nose in where other people dare not, and reveals some alarming truths and circumstances.The most alarming thing about this documentary is not the sight of the intimidating Suge Knight in the climatic prison interview, or the revelations about the sheer incompetence of the police during their investigation and their possible connections to the murders, but the apparent amateurish way that director Nick Broomfield goes about his business. He barges into locations with his microphone and headphones, asks probing questions, and in one scene, actually runs out of sound recording and cuts the interview short. But it actually works in his favour. His seemingly bumbling approach allows his interviewees to feel more at ease and see Broomfield as less of a threat. And working on charm and determination alone, manages to bank an interview with rap mogul Suge Knight after he had already turned down the interview after simply turning up at the prison.The documentary itself is as riveting, fascinating, and surprisingly sad as you would hope. Broomfield gets answers that even the police officer taken off the case for 'asking too many questions' is impressed with. It reveals a glamorous and terrifying world where these multi-millionaire musicians wanting to play gangster got more than they were expecting, and their links with the 'bloods' and 'crips' of the L.A. gangland. It's clear that Broomfield's suspicions lie with Knight, who seems to have a finger in every pie, and is the instigator of the East-West Cast rivalry that seemed to hit its peak in the mid-90's. A quality documentary, and a rather damning insight into the rap industry.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

I'm a big Notorious B.I.G. fan and believer of Tupac's N.I.G.G.A.Z. philosophy so when i seen the video tape at Wal-mart, i knew i had to own it. When I brought it home, i was hoping to find a link between their deaths and the police cover-up i've been hearing about in LA (mind you i live in north Carolina). What I got was a brutally honest, horrifying, well thought out documentary. The main argument about Nick Broomfield from Kurt And Courtney was his seemingly one sided mission to make you believe HIS truth. He does it here but instead of just interviews from people with a vendetta (and trust me, there are plenty here) with the culprits Broomfield say are responsible for their deaths, we also get interviews from BIG's Mother, Tupac's step-brother(who i seen as a opportunistic jackass), Former bodyguards for both Pac and Big, and the most important of all, Death Row CEO Suge Knight. The Most entertaining is of course Knight, not because of what he says happen( he refused to comment on either deaths, sorry ) but because of the remarks he makes of Snoop Dogg(wonder what he has to do with anything? watch). And if that doesn't do it for you, Volletta Wallace(BIG's mother)'s interview will make you cry(the last one i mean).

Biggie and Tupac is a chronology of Broomfield's complete failure to unearth any interesting material on his subjects, totally overshadowed by his blandiose, wooden narration.I found his attitude and treatment of his subjects to be insufferable, from his attempts at pidgin English (akin to reading Dick and Jane novels aloud) to his unprepared, incompetent interviews (showing up and ambushing people, losing sound files, etc.) Broomfield has a unique talent for getting in the way of the story he is purporting to tell. He was more interested in hearing himself talk, and following his own blundering, as he put up increasing barriers between himself and his subjects.In addition, how does the director expect us to be engaged by the story, when it is clear he has no interest in hearing what people have to say? Ambush journalism fails when you are being aggressive without asking anything of import. He can't ask an interesting question, how can one expect him to spin a compelling narrative?This movie was a pathetic attempt by a director worth ignoring.
