Description: **City of Lies (2018 Full Movie in English – 720p and 480p)**
**Storyline:**
Inspired by one of the most infamous unsolved cases in recent history, *City of Lies* is a gripping thriller that delves into the mysterious murder of The Notorious B.I.G., which occurred shortly after the death of Tupac Shakur. The film follows L.A.P.D. detective Russell Poole (Johnny Depp), who dedicates years to solving this high-profile case, but even after two decades, the truth remains elusive. Alongside him is “Jack” Jackson (Forest Whitaker), a journalist desperate to salvage his career and reputation. Together, they uncover a disturbing web of institutional corruption and deceit. Their relentless pursuit of justice threatens to expose a conspiracy that could shake the foundations of the L.A.P.D. and the entire city.
Adapted from Randall Sullivan’s 2002 book *LAbyrinth: A Detective Investigates the Murders of Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.*, the film struggles to condense a complex and sprawling true crime story into a 112-minute runtime. Directed by Brad Furman, *City of Lies* stars Johnny Depp as the obsessed detective and Forest Whitaker as the determined journalist. Despite its intriguing premise, the film faced delays and controversies, including a lawsuit against Johnny Depp, which postponed its release. Critics noted that the movie falls short of doing justice to its source material, often feeling underdeveloped and overstretched.
