If you have kept up to date with the theories regarding the death of Pac and Big, this is a fairly pointless documentary that takes about 75 minutes to get to the point of the film that is to claim what the 'Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G' TV series claimed to debunk - that being the Biggie murders had LAPD cops involved. Most of the movie plays more like a documentary about Suge's life, how Pac was influenced by him and was never the gangsta he portrayed once he went to Death Row. A highlight of the interviews for me was Danny Boy who offers an interesting insight into living through the downfall of the Row at such a young age. One of the female interviewees also says that she didn't want what she was saying to be shown, but it was... I imagine Nick got the okay from her but it does leave a bit of bad taste in the mouth. As an interviewer and narrator, Nick Broomfield lacks much charm. I never mind reliving the story of the west and east coast beef as I find it to be an interesting topic, and there are interesting tidbits from the guests interviewed, but if you are well versed in the history of the two artists and Suge, you are better off putting on 'All Eyez on Me' and vibing to that classic album again.
