The lesson is solid even as the huge production fails to generate the chemistry promised by its cast and crew.

It's Just Movies
Rating: 3/4 --
Depp and Forest Whitaker go for authenticity in the gritty drama reminiscent of '70s procedurals.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2/5 --
City of Lies is more James Ellroy than docudrama, resulting in a tired police thriller that hitched its wagon to an untenable star.

Austin Chronicle
It's not a great movie, but watching Depp and Whitaker play off each other is interesting, as long as you have the volume up. The story itself is compelling, especially since it has never been solved

Movies and Shakers
Rating: B- --
As a thriller, it never quite reaches its boiling point, which may be one reason it's been sitting on the shelf since 2018. But as the portrait of a man obsessed and the forces stacked up against him, it earns its stripes.

Detroit News
Rating: C- --
Furman's movie lacks the craft or the confidence to address the unresolved questions of institutional cancer.

Rating: 3/5 --
While the third act lacks oomph, the film lands its message of a corrupt police force where political self-preservation sadly overshadows the actual lives lost.

This crime drama based on the book ‘LABRYINTH' by Randall Sullivan sees ex-police officer Russell Poole (Johnny Depp) and journalist Jack Jackson (Forest Whitaker) team up to revisit their shared obsession: the murder of Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace. Covering the murder of Tupac Shakur, the East and West Coast rivalries rife at the time, and the controversial theories surrounding the LAPD's involvement in the crimes, Poole and Jackson take on two of the best known unsolved murders in history in this crime thriller. Directed by Brad Furman. Toby Huss, and Dayton Callie co-star.
