Review of Notorious



I caught the movie Notorious at a nearby cineaplex last weekend. The movie is a biopic on slain rapper Biggy Smalls (a.k.a. the Notorious B.I.G.). We get to see his transformation from little kid to drug dealer to upstart rapper to perhaps the greatest of all-time. The actor who played Biggy did a really good job; a poor performance could have turned the movie into a joke, but he did very well. The actress who played Lil' Kim was hot and she did well also. I read that the real Lil' Kim was upset about how she was portrayed in the movie. Basically, she was portrayed as a doormat-- it could have been worse. Of course the movie has a tragic ending, but still this is a movie that I highly recommend (just stay away from the after parties).
