F. Gary Gray did a masterful job. Script had a lot of Dre influenced revisionist history which was expected. Dude who played Eazy should be up for awards.

Didn't like how they let Jerry Heller off the hook so easy. He must have had some influence on the movie because they really made him seem like he wasn't a crook. That last scene with him and Eazy was disgusting.

I felt it made him look like a snake. Those managers will lie and smile to the very end if they see money to be made.

the opening scene is the only really good part of the movie
"You're kind of being a hoe right now, Eric." 
Modern classic.
Modern classic.
They gave him that "I looked out for myself but I always took care of you" reprieve. They even made sure he repeated it twice.
How'd they make it seem like he wasn't a crook?? They made it pretty clear that the only way they'd get back together is without him, they made it pretty clear he was screwing them over. Just because the character had an explanation for his actions doesn't mean the movie justified it.
Yeah it was obvious as hell that only HE believed that breh. He repeated it twice because he was stammering and looking for a lifeboat
I could be looking at it all wrong, that's just what it seemed like to me. I was just looking for the movie to bash him a little harder
I think the movie did a good enough job with that. That scene where Eazy clearly had him dead to rights, the scenes with cube and Dre about him and the fact that they all said they'd get back together if he's not in the picture really illustrated that he was the one with the hand in the cookie jar and that Eazy wasn't as smart as he thought he was and that jerry wasn't as down as he thought he was. Just because he believed his own bull doesn't mean everyone else did or should and to me, the movie makes that justification very clear. Everyone is the hero in their own story so of course he'd believe he was doing the right thing.
Agreed.
And like Ice Cube said I think they were fair to Jerry.
They showed he was snake,but also in that last scene with Jerry and Eazy,it appeared Jerry liked Eazy. Whether it was real or not,Jerry has been talking about Eazy as if he were his son or some shyt the past 2 decades.
Damn that was a great scene
