Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

50% Tomatometer 12 Reviews 50% Audience Score Fewer than 50 Ratings This hard-hitting documentary tells the story of Suge Knight, the former CEO of legendary rap music label Death Row Records, who was recently sentenced to 28 years imprisonment for manslaughter and other violent crimes not typically associated with a highly successful record executive. The film takes a look at Death Row and how L.A.'s street gang culture had come to dominate its business workings, as well as an association with corrupt LA police officers who were also gang affiliated. It would be this world of gang rivalry and dirty cops that would claim the lives of the world's two greatest rappers: Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. Read More Read Less

Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Owen Gleiberman Variety In "Last Man Standing," Broomfield comes close to answering the questions - of guilt and recrimination - that have hung over these murders for too long. Aug 21, 2021 Full Review Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com A startlingly scattershot piece of filmmaking from a director who normally has a sure, personal hand on his projects. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 20, 2021 Full Review Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Ben Kenigsberg New York Times Broomfield is not suited to documentaries with willing subjects. Aug 19, 2021 Full Review Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Victoria Luxford City AM There is some considered debate about what really happened, but nothing more than conjecture that most viewers will have guessed anyway. Come for the archive footage, but dont expect any answers. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue There's not enough fresh insight here to justify revisiting the case yet again for those who have followed it through the years. Aug 27, 2021 Full Review Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Christopher Machell CineVue Broomfield's triumph is in reimagining Biggie and Tupac's murders out of their mythology and into a new context in which they are emblematic of a social malaise characterised by toxic masculinity, misogyny, racism, and police corruption.
