City of Lies (2018)
6/10
Well orchestrated but could've been way better!!

Both the lead actors played the role superbly however, a lot of room for betterment. The focus on both the characters was way too much overshadowing the rest.

I mean, this is about the murder and cover-up of two most iconic rappers in American history leading a generation. The movie felt like an isolated segment not showing the overall influence of this instance on the nation. In other words, the picturization made it all look like a local small time case.

The ending again was disappointing and could've portrayed the legacy of the detective's work instead of ending on a not meaning, his life was worthless or was valued only by a few.
