Nick Broomfield has a gift, an uncanny ability to get things into documentaries no on else can. Forget Jon Alpert and those other cinema verte doc makers. Pfft.
Can they get prime footage of "driving down a road"? No.
Can they get those rare "walking down the hallway to find door" moments? Nope.
How about those dazzeling interviews of "girl who claimed she knew" person? I think not.
The guy is clearly a genius.
Because of this documentary the Biggie case was re-opened and if I'm not mistaken I think still is, did anyone else manage to achieve this, you might not think he is the best, but the guy has balls to do the stuff he does!

Well I am sure the footage of "the corner Biggie sold crack on" and "film crew walking down the hallway" will do heaps to help solve the case.
He's filming people who have info on the case- they got it re-opened, not him.
Yeah. And the interview with the convict tearily confessing he transported funds for the hit on Biggie. Abysmal, abysmal film making.
And the interview with the bodyguard providing an eye witness identification of the chief suspect. Awful.
And the masses of circumstantial evidence either uncovered or illuminated. Who the f4ck is this Broomfield guy? I want him dead!
And while we're at it what the hell was Scorsese thinking about with all those upward shots of the helicopter trailing Ray Liotta in Goodfellas? BORING! Overrated heathen!
