...hero's medals, did time for violent crimes and, at 25, got gunned down in Las Vegas last September. As a budding film star, though, he pinwheeled charm and emotional purity. Shakur, who had acted professionally since he was 12, wasn't quite Sidney Poitier, but in a decent range of roles (in Juice, Poetic Justice, Above the Rim) he showed power and promise...
...Roper is no Dirty Eddie; he's a negotiator who has to ingratiate himself with the malefactors before he can blow their heads off. This offers plenty of chances for Murphy-style comedy, none of which writer Randy Feldman or director Thomas Carter bothered to exploit. Except for a decent scene in which Roper mimics a white bandit as a test for his galoot partner (Michael Rapaport), there's no room for Eddie to be Eddie. It's as if Carter thought the project was a smooth vehicle that Murphy could simply ride in, when it's really a hunk...

Besides, why act on such an irresponsible, self-destructive student demand when there are so many others that are more important? How many Undergraduate Council candidates have to run on a platform of "a lamp in every dorm" before we get some decent lighting? This money should go to programs like Safety Walk and self-defense courses, activities that prevent violence and protect students. On the most basic level, turning the library into a Motel 6 is a case of misplaced priorities...
