City of Lies (2018)

Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker Star in and Deliver Extremely Good Performances
26 November 2021
7 of 10 stars. Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker star in this Film, and they don't disappoint. They are both Legendary Actors, and we've all seen Films where they try to bring in talent to save a bad Film; this is not the case, this Film is Extremely Good, the Film would've been fairly good even without them, but they certainly raise it to extremely good with their very good performances.

Brad Furman Directed the Film and does fine, which shouldn't be surprising as he is a good and capable Director who has Directed 3 or 4 Films before this Film, including good Films like The Infiltrator (2016), The Lincoln Lawyer (2011) & The Take (2007); add this Film to his good Film list.

Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker have starred in so many good Films during their great career's, I couldn't possibly list them all. They are both incredible Actor's. I'll choose 1 of the 2 to keep it short, and just a Top 10; I'll do Forest Whitaker...actually I'll do Johnny Depp. If I polled 100 of the most respected Film Historians, they would all have a slightly different order, but I believe this would be their Top 10 Films starring Johnny Depp after a consensus; and I believe they would say his Top 8 on this list are all Masterpieces: 1. Edward Scissorhands (1990) 2. Donnie Brasco (1997) 3. What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) 4. Ed Wood (1994) 5. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2007) 6. Arizona Dream (1993) 7. Finding Neverland (2004) 8. Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl (2003) 9. Dead Man (1995) 10. Benny & Joon (1993)
