I recently watched the remarkable Above The Rim. I must confess that watching the charismatic, handsome, talented and imposing Tupac Shakur was a bitter sweet experience. Bitter in that such talent was short lived and yet sweet because one cannot help but appreciate the screen presence of young Shakur. I could watch such brilliance over and over again.
Above the Rim is a story about a jock who is caught between the seductive life of thuggery and a straight forward life of College Basketball. It stars Duane Martin, Leon, Tupac Shakur and a young Bennie Mac. This is one of those movies is often left out of the must-watch list but I recommend that you rent it and enjoy it.
