“All Eyez On Me” (**1/2 out of four) was a flashy but one-dimensional and superficial biography of the legendarily controversial Tupac Shakur (Demetrius Shipp, Jr.) showing his difficult upbringing with his mother (Danai Gurira) to his worldwide and seminal success as a rapper and actor to his eventual death at 25. Cinematic equivalent of a wikipedia entry is fast-moving and watchable but never as compelling or multi-layered as it should have been and doesn’t tell you much about him you don’t already know. Best thing about the film is Shipp who looks and sounds astonishingly like Shakur and Gurira is first-rate as his mom also. Kudos also for re-casting Jamel Woodward as Notorious B.I.G. who also played him in “Notorious.” Better than both Jada Pinkett and 50 Cent have said but lacking the emotional power and fire of other musical biographies “Straight Outta Compton” and “The Buddy Holly Story.”
