I should have put a spoiler alert in my title - wasn't thinking, I guess.. I'm a musician - you gotta expect I'm gonna screw up with regularity..
But, yeah, there are times the story will stand on its own without embellishment.. I thought this was one of those times.. But maybe Hollywood thought they needed to insert conflict to put butts in seats, thinking the majority of people didn't know the "inside" details to the investigation and maybe they had "missed" something.. I dunno..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
