White Boy Rick
Set in 1980s Detroit at the height of the crack epidemic and the War on Drugs, WHITE BOY RICK is based on the moving story of a blue-collar father and his teenage son, Rick Wershe Jr., who became an undercover police informant and later a drug dealer, before he was abandoned by his handlers.

At the end of the day... I left disappointed.
Sure Matthew Mccounageh was excellent the 30% percent he was in the movie but it wasn’t enough to salvage this. The way this story is told is just all over the place. The stakes never felt that high and neither did the tension get there. It jumps from year to year and not much feels all that different. The true story about him is very interesting but the storytelling was kinda lackluster.
