City of Lies (2018)
6/10
"City Of Lies" has tons of potential and doesn't fully deliver.
7 August 2019
"City Of Lies" showcases fantastic acting chops from duo Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker, but as much as this true story is intriguing it falls flat at times.

In this crime drama based on a true story, two men investigate the murders of rappers Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur.

Overall a great story and script, but "City Of Lies" seems to steer in the wrong direction and just as it's about to become great, it backs away. I wanted more, but thankfully the committed lead performances from Depp and Whitaker are what stand true in this film and make it worth a watch.
