The true and untold story of prolific rapper, actor, poet and activist Tupac Shakur (Demetrius Shipp Jr.), from his early days in New York to his status as one of the world's most recognized and influential voices. Against all odds, Shakur's raw talent, powerful lyrics and revolutionary mindset establish him as a cultural icon whose legacy continues to grow long after his death.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite Demetrius Shipp Jr.'s fine lead performance, All Eyez on Me is mostly a surface-skimming, by-the-numbers biopic of a larger-than-life icon.

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

Demetrius Shipp Jr bears an uncanny resemblance to Shakur but doesn't quite possess the star quality to outshine the script, which is leaden and flatly expositional.

Rated: 2/5

Irish Times

Its reverence and sketchiness gets between the viewer and the subject.

Kevin Maher

Times (UK)

How they managed to make a movie about a guy who went from poverty to fame to prison to fame again, before being shot five times and surviving, and then being shot four times and dying, into something as compelling as a tax return is anyone's guess.

Rated: 1/5

Mediaversity Reviews

All Eyez on Me attempts to reconcile an iconic figure with his very complex life. Its important commentary on race, however, gets overshadowed by technical problems.

Rated: C

Richard Crouse

Structurally the film has problems, but the movie finishes strong with Boom doing a good job of building some tension in the final moments leading up to the fatal Las Vegas drive-by shooting.

Rated: 3/5

Third Coast Review

It's a closer call than you might think, but All Eyez on Me sells Tupac's life short.

Krystal W The movie was a good movie and it definitely teach you something you did not know. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/26/21 Full Review Dinos K Tupac was a huge rap star but this biopic is not worthy of him Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Steven James R Loved This Movie Based On SexyPac Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Liane C I was just happy to see a movie about Tupac.He's my favorite old school hip hop artist.He was so smart and creative and was such a great poetic/rap activist.I think it was great.It could have been more detailed,but I guess the producers didn't want to make the movie longer and drawn out.I would have preferred to watch more about his life,which would make it a longer movie,which would be worth the watch. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review Cluedo What a great movie and what a great performance by the actors Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/05/23 Full Review James B i liked the actor who played 2pac in film and the plot and music was good but you can tell that this film is low budget kinda felt like a straight to tv movie. worth a watch though. i am a big tupac fan.
