Rating: 2/5 --
This is an MTV-friendly, slick and styled production that tells one version of a very murky story and does it with plenty of energy but little imagination.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Though it never quite devolves into pure hagiography, the film's central tale of crack dealer made good is sometimes a little too hokey for its own good.

This team have smoothed over the details of Biggie's rags-to-riches ascent, they haven't succeeded in making it terribly interesting.

Absent the actual music, Notorious would be a lot worse.

Rating: 3/5 --
Newcomer Jamal Woolard is a natural as the mammoth rapper, easily adopting Biggie's cheeky swagger and rasping speech... [But] the story suffers as it tries to capture every last moment of the rapper's life.

This film knows the lyrics, but not the music.

The inclusion of real-life footage and re-enacted YouTube clips is an interesting idea, but with each awkward stab at a new shooting style, Tillman Jr moves closer towards disgracing his subject with yet another hack job.
