White Boy Rick
horizontal line

A sobering, factually based, dark, gritty, violent, star-dotted (Bruce Bern, Piper Laurie, and Eddie Marsan), 110-minute film in which 15-year-old dropout Richard Wershe Jr. (Richie Merritt), who lives with his divorced illegal gun-dealing father (Matthew McConaughey) and drug-addicted sister (Bel Powley) in rundown Detroit, is initially coerced by two corrupt FBS agents (Jennifer Jason Lee and Rory Cochrane) and a narcotics detective (Brian Tyree Henry) in 1985 to become an FBI informant by getting close to drug traffickers (RJ Cyler, Jonathan Majors, et al.), but eventually the drug-dealing life comes calling and gets him arrested.
