Amoeba Music

The dramatic retelling of the life, improbable 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. NTSC Starring Angela Bassett, Derek Luke, Anthony Mackie, Jamal Woolard, Julia Pace Mitchell, Director George Tillman
