Critic Reviews

Manohla Dargis

One of the better documentaries I'd seen in years -- it plays like a suspense thriller because that's exactly what it is. Read full review

Broomfield discovers new evidence that ultimately reopened the Biggie Smalls murder case and in my eyes proves who killed him. While the Tupac theory in this one is a little far fetched for my liking this is an interesting watch non the less.… Expand
