Solid Film.

Rating: 7/10 (18 September 2015)

When I saw the trailers for this film I thought it was going to be an underground, low budget, hurried to DVD kind of thing, it wasn't. I was pretty impressed with what I saw. This film had powerful messages in it that a smart viewer of this of this type of film would take heed to. Like most biographical films this one wasn't 100% perfect. Being that I'm a huge Hip Hop fan (Anything Hip Hop from 2000 and back) I know of some things that should have and shouldn't have been put in this film. Other than that, the basic premise of this film was correct. This film should get an Oscar nomination simply because of the impact it had at the box office and for the musical history it put out. The acting in this film was OK but the likeness and mannerisms of what O'Shea Jackson Jr. portrayed in the film as his father, Ice Cube, was on point! He looked exactly like his father and I don't know if this would be a spoiler, but in one scene the actor who played Tupac was in the booth recording a song, with the dim lights and the bandanna on his head you would have almost thought that it really was Tupac. To me the resemblance these two actors had towards the characters they played and also the almost close resemblance Jason Mitchell had to Easy E and Neil Brown Jr. had to DJ Yella played an important roll in this film. All in all this is a solid film, not perfect, but solid.
