When I saw the previews for this movie, I wasn't really impressed or drawn into it. I thought it was going to be just another biography movie, and I was never really a fan of Notorious B.I.G. as a rapper so overall I wasn't really interested in seeing the movie. Well after seeing an advanced screening, I must say I was pleasantly surprised. The acting by Jamal Woolard, as B.I.G, was great! There was no way you could tell he was a first time actor. The way the crew put the story together was just amazing, it was not a movie about B.I.G's rise to fame. This was a movie about a boy becoming a man and the things he went through to get there. I gained much respect for B.I.G as an artist after seeing this movie. Highly recommended for everyone. |
