In director Reinaldo Marcus Green\u2019s reverential biopic of Bob Marley, the reggae singer travels to late 1970s\u2019 London with his entourage to begin work on a new album. \u201cI wanna make a record that can shake up the place,\u201d he vows, having recently survived an assassination attempt in Kingston, Jamaica.<\/p>\n

Bob Marley: One Love doesn\u2019t shake up the place. Produced in partnership with the singer\u2019s family, Green\u2019s polite and conventional portrait of a trailblazing artist slips on a pair of kid gloves to recreate a fertile period when Bob Marley and the Wailers recorded the LP Exodus and captured the peace-loving spirit of the era with the song Three Little Birds and its infectious chorus, \u201cDon\u2019t worry about a thing, Cause every little thing gonna be alright.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fans of Marley don\u2019t need to worry about Kingsley Ben-Adir\u2019s fearless portrayal of their musical hero. With a full head of cascading dreadlocks and thick Jamaican patois, the London born actor vanishes completely within his charismatic showman during electrifying concert performances.<\/p>\n

The script shortchanges Lashana Lynch as Marley\u2019s steadfast spouse, who protests: \u201cI have to be a wife and a soldier.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Green\u2019s picture harnessed some of that fighting spirit, we\u2019d be jamming.<\/p>\n
