Plot Spoiler: I give you the bottom line of the film.
This is a fascinating docudrama about the investigation of the murder of Christopher Wallace, aka Notorious B.I.G. It centers on detective Russell Poole (Johnny Depp) a broken flawed man who still pushes on. He is working with journalist Jack Jackson (Forest Whitaker). They build a case that elements within the LAPD were part of Death Row and were involved with murder. The LAPD is covering up this information to avoid a lawsuit that would bankrupt the city. Hence the investigation is "on going." No comment can be made, no evidence shared, no lawsuit. The evidence presented in the film appears to be overwhelming, but Hollywood can do that. It is time to reopen the case.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
