White Boy Rick Ratings & Reviews

  • prinlerFebruary 26, 2025
    Ending was lack luster.
  • RyezooFebruary 14, 2025
    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.
