In 1997, rap superstars Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace (aka Biggie Smalls, The Notorious B.I.G.) were gunned down in separate incidents, the apparent victims of hip hop's infamous east-west rivalry. Nick Broomfield's film introduces Russell Poole, an ex-cop with damning evidence that suggests the LAPD deliberately fumbled the case to conceal connections between the police, LA gangs and Death Row Records, the label run by feared rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight.

Nick Broomfield constructs the film as a gripping investigative piece, relying on interviews with controversial key figures and raw archival footage. He explores not just the murders but the corrupt ecosystem that may have enabled them.
What lingers after the credits is a chilling portrait of impunity and the unsettling possibility that the full truth was deliberately buried. A necessary, if frustrating, deep dive. — MovieFinder Editorial
