Additional InformationThe dramatic retelling of the life, remarkable rise, and violent fall of rapper Christopher Wallace (aka the Notorious B.I.G.), NOTORIOUS plays like A STAR IS BORN set to a rattling gangsta snare. With crisp direction by George Tillman Jr., producer of the BARBERSHOP series, the film is briskly paced and strikes a worthy balance between sensationalized celebrity biopic and behind-the-scenes drama. Angela Bassett anchors the latter with a nuanced performance as Voletta, WallaceÆs long-suffering single mother who attempts to shelter him from the mean streets of Bed-Stuy.<BR><BR>With deep involvement by those who knew him best--the real Voletta Wallace and Sean 'Puff Daddy' Combs (played dynamically by Derek Luke) co-produced--the film nonetheless unflinchingly portrays BiggieÆs troubled history as a teenage crack dealer, his chronic infidelity and poor fathering skills, and his own role in stoking the ludicrous coastal rivalry that claimed both his and Tupac ShakurÆs lives. NOTORIOUS delivers an impactful tribute to its subject's genius--revealing to fans and neophytes alike the microphone skills, narrative chops, and fresh vision that made Wallace one of hip-hopÆs greatest all-time MCs. Largely, this is due to the ace performance by Jamal Woolard, an amateur rapper who packed on 50 pounds to play the hulking gangsta.
ReviewsNewsweek - Managed to stun, unsettle and move, Variety - Woolard owns the movie, New York Magazine - A fascinating tale [à] Making a can't-take-your-eyes-off-him debut as Biggie, Woolard knows he has enormous shoes to fill, and he never once disappoints., The Hollywood Reporter - It has terrific performances, a powerful soundtrack and eye-catching visuals, Hollywood Reporter - It has terrific performances, a powerful soundtrack and eye-catching visuals, Chicago Sun-Times - NOTORIOUS is a good film in many ways, but its best achievement is the casting of Jamal Woolard, a rapper named Gravy, in the title role
