One of the better documentaries I'd seen in years -- it plays like a suspense thriller because that's exactly what it is.
A wily and dogged inquisitor, Broomfield cajoles and confronts a variety of witnesses, charting a web of intrigue that also involved the LAPD, the FBI, and assorted gangbangers and rogue cops.
Has been called an exploitation of a tragedy, but in fact it's an expose of tragic exploitation.
Whether or not you buy Mr. Broomfield's findings, the film acquires an undeniable entertainment value as the slight, pale Mr. Broomfield continues to force himself on people and into situations that would make lesser men run for cover.
This is Oliver Stone country, but Broomfield's self-effacing affect is more Woody Allen,
It's no exaggeration to say that roughly half of the interviews in Biggie and Tupac are worthless, offering no new information or insights about the rappers or their deaths.
This time out, Broomfield comes up with maybe enough halfway decent material for a 10-minute segment on a second-rate tabloid TV show.
