    • Quotes

      Jack Jackson: Was he a good detective? Was he a good partner?

      Detective Fred Miller: Russell Poole. One of the best. Younger guy, but from an older school than even I was from. Worked an honest shift. Lacked nuance. Follow orders to the point of insubordination.

    Didn't expect to like it

    Really good film showing the real life of what really went on beneath the surface of the hip hop industry a must see film Depp and Whitaker pulled it off as usual.
