Rating: C- --
Furman's movie lacks the craft or the confidence to address the unresolved questions of institutional cancer.

At heart a movie about one man’s self-destructive obsession, CITY OF LIES has an underlying, unexpected poignancy. The look is grimy and the atmosphere is grim...
New York Times
Rating: 2/5 --
City of Lies is more James Ellroy than docudrama, resulting in a tired police thriller that hitched its wagon to an untenable star.

Rating: 7/10 --
Moving back and forth in time, we see how a man got broken down for trying to do his job. It's good work for a near-disavowed film.

It's not a great movie, but watching Depp and Whitaker play off each other is interesting, as long as you have the volume up. The story itself is compelling, especially since it has never been solved

Ultimately doesn't do justice to the story of Biggie's death, even as a fictionalized work.

Depp and Forest Whitaker go for authenticity in the gritty drama reminiscent of '70s procedurals.

Product Description:
This crime drama based on the book ‘LABRYINTH' by Randall Sullivan sees ex-police officer Russell Poole (Johnny Depp) and journalist Jack Jackson (Forest Whitaker) team up to revisit their shared obsession: the murder of Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace. Covering the murder of Tupac Shakur, the East and West Coast rivalries rife at the time, and the controversial theories surrounding the LAPD's involvement in the crimes, Poole and Jackson take on two of the best known unsolved murders in history in this crime thriller. Directed by Brad Furman. Toby Huss, and Dayton Callie co-star.
