What's that one biopic where they take an iconic and unique individual's life and force it through the Hollywood grinder to make generic pap for the masses? Oh yeah, all of them.
Bob Marley took an entire genre of music and made it special. Important. This (albeit earnest) movie with its info dumps, flashbacks, and God-awful wigs does neither to Bob Marley's legacy.
One Love is like a sausage: all Polish and no Heart. Watch the documentary Marley (2012) instead.
(I did enjoy the reference to the documentary White Riot which explored Rock Against Racism movement in 1970s England, which paired reggae bands with punk bands so that whites and blacks would hang out together and support each other. In this movie, Bob and some Wailers are in a punk club and "The Clash" is on stage performing the song White Riot.)
