(more)Reviews (1)
The world of uneducated tough guys from the streets, who were destined for a career as pimps, drug dealers, bouncers, or thieves, and instead successfully started a music career and became famous rappers. The new position and self-confidence often became associated with old habits in the event of success, so the gentlemen appeared in public with a large security detail, adorned with gold chains, famous for their boastfulness, usually accompanied by black females dazzled by bling. Notorious does not stand out as a biographical film, nor as a drama, and not even as a representative of the music genre. It has significance for fans of black rap, specifically Christopher Wallace. Overall impression: 40%.
