CITY OF LIES is a US crime drama in which a cop and journalist investigate the murders of Tupac and Biggy, eighteen years after the events.

violence
There are scenes of strong violence, including bloody shootings, as well as sequences in which a man receives repeated impactful beatings from multiple attackers. A woman is callously elbowed in the face by an armed robber. Some scenes contain crime scene details and blood in the aftermath of violence.
language
There is strong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker' and 'bumbaclot'), accompanied by other milder terms, including 'bitch', 'pussy', 'dick', 'bastard', 'asshole', 'ass', 'shit', 'bullshit', 'hell', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'God' and 'damn'. There is use of a middle finger gesture.
drugs
There are some scenes of joint smoking which is depicted in a glamourised fashion, including at a pool party.
additional issues
There are references to racism and police brutality in the context of the real-life drive-by murders of American rappers, Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. Such behaviour and attitudes are clearly condemned by the film as a whole.
