Little to interest anyone but fans in ‘Notorious’

Director: George Tillman Jnr

Cast: Jamal Woolard, Derek Luke, Anthony Mackie, Angela Bassett

Cert: 16

If you’re already a fan of hip-hop and rapper The Notorious B.I.G. and if you know all about the East Coast-West Coast feud and if you know already how the life and times of your hero turned out, then this film won’t tell you anything new.

Biggie chased the dream, became one of music’s biggest stars and, in the film bio, Woolard turns in a terrific performance … and, really, that’s it.

If you’re not a fan, the film might drive you to taking home a platter of the guy, otherwise …

Star Rating: 2/5
