All of a sudden, English documentary daredevil Nick Broomfield is all grown up. In sussing out who might have murdered rappers Biggie Smalls and and Tupac Shakur, his hardcore investigation into the seeming cover-up reveals him to be an increasingly fearless, and genuinely heartfelt filmmaker. Five years after their deaths, Broomfield's terrific film is a compelling, inflammatory, heart-tugging work.

"Biggie & Tupac" opens Friday at the Music Box.
