Stars: Johnny Depp, Forest Whitaker, Toby Huss, Dayton Callie, Neil Brown Jr., Louis Herthum, Shea Whigham, Xander Berkeley, Melanie Benz, Shamier Anderson, Laurence Mason, Christian George, Michael Pare, Amin Joseph, Josh Hardwick | Written by Christian Contreras | Directed by Brad Furman
City of Lies, also known as LAbyrinth, is directed by Brad Furman and is based off the book LAbyrinth by Randall Sullivan. The film stars Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker as Russell Poole and Jack Jackson, respectively.
