Notorious is about the life of rapper Christopher Wallace a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G. In just a few short years, The Notorious B.I.G. rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time. B.I.G. was a gifted storyteller; his narratives about violent life on the streets were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility. His stories were universal and gave a voice to his generation.This was an interesting watch for me having lived through all this stupid drama involving east coast vs west coast and remembering everyone talking about all this stuff. Outside of that part of watching it - this was a pretty crappy movie. It was totally overdramatized and sappy at the end. It also took waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long to get to the parts that everyone wanted to watch. There was no reason for this movie to be two hours long.
I wouldn't have really recommended anyone rushing to check this out in theaters. It would probably make a decent rental though.
