‘Last Man Standing: Suge Knight and the Murders of Biggie & Tupac’ review: Returning to the deaths of Tupac and Biggie, and to the figure at the center of it all, Suge Knight
The movie arrived at a moment when Broomfield had begun to style himself as a kind of high-end tabloid detective, plumbing the mysteries behind such sensational stories as the rise of Heidi Fleiss , the suicide of Kurt Cobain , and the life and death of the serial killer Aileen Wuornos .
Knight is now serving a 28-year prison sentence for voluntary manslaughter , and with the former rap mogul behind bars, a lot of his former associates are a lot less scared of him than they used to be. “Last Man Standing” is, for Broomfield, a relatively prosaic piece of filmmaking . But Broomfield talks to a great many people , and what emerges from their testimony is a heightened look at a cultural moment — in hip-hop, and in the marketing of nihilism as celebrity.
The time that Tupac served in prison, in 1995, for sexual assault had a profound effect upon him, and when Suge Knight bailed him out, with the agreement that Tupac would sign a pact with Death Row, Shakur agreed, in effect, to make himself the public image of the Bloods. He became Suge’s pet superstar, his Mob Piru mascot. Several people in the film testify that this wasn’t the “real” Tupac, but others talk about how his identity shifted.
