All Eyez on Me is a 2017 American biographicaldrama film directed by Benny Boom. Titled after the 1996 studio album, as well as the song of the same name, it is based on the life and death of the American rapper Tupac Shakur.

The Life & Death of Tupac Shakur
Just okay
It gives the basic story of his life, like many other documentaries about Tupac do, but it doesn't do it very well. It's as if they filled some of the documentary with parts left over from other documentaries. Parts that weren't very important, or were less important than what should have been said or included. The voiceover artist is also quite bad, mispronouncing names, occasionally using odd stress patterns and highlighting for impact the wrong words or sections of sentences. It's as if this person had never voiced over a film before, and even worse, wasn't at all familiar with Tupac, nor some of the most important events and aspects of his life.
If you're a Tupac fan you might enjoy it, but I'd only bother with it if it's free to watch. I wouldn't waste money renting it.
