A decent crime drama dealing with the unsolved murder of rappers Tupac and Biggie. Johnny Depp is decent as a detective and Forest Whitaker as a journalist. The film has a slower pace, but it doesn't get boring and the ending is definitely intriguing. For fans of the genre. 65% ()
A masterfully shot, raw crime with 1990s grainy optics using grey camera filters, it is technically and subjectively speaking one of the most accomplished in years, peppered with period footage and all sorts of gimmicks, with Depp playing a pretty untraditional character, and it’s not bad at all. Unfortunately, it’s marred by a dabbling script that is confusing, with a stilted retrospective, and lacking a bit better clarity, as well as juice. It’s a big shame, because otherwise the film is formally delicious. ()
