White Boy Rick

7 will say I find this film far better than most of the people dropping comments here. Maybe it's because I'm not up on the original story and that I'm not from the usa so I don't know how authentic the accents are, or not. I found the story told well and it gripped from the word go, which is the most important thing for me.

okay so i picked up a copy of this movie and wow i was not expecting what i got the movie movie moved very fast it was action packed and full of things going on a total edge of your seat thrill ride i only say the ending made me sad they shouldnt have made it like that the baby was so sad as he left but aside from that its a wonderful movie that i highly recomeend anyone to see go pick up a copy now

Drugs are bad mm kay

Another story of injustice, and despite some of the comments on this page, this is a film worth watching. The performances are good, the story is interesting, and while narratively loose at times, it still manages to engage.

White Boy Rick is one of those "How did this actually happen?" movies, based on a true story.

I really thought the acting was stellar in this movie, headlined by yet another great performance from Matthew McConaughey. None of the characters felt out classed in my opinion, so the movie flowed really well.

The story itself was pretty straight forward, and not super deep. It was a much more emotionally charged movie, than story driven.

I would recommend checking this one out.

Better than the reviews but not an awards contender.

I think the trailers assumed we all knew this true story and showed too much. Decent movie. Great acting all around.....just tough to really connect with.

This is a really interesting story that unfortunately the movie never really delivers on. This could just be a case of real life not living up to the Hollywood promise but the movie doesn’t feel grounded enough for that to be the case. Matthew McConaughey of course delivers a great performance and really makes you believe this “lowlife” father is trying to do the right thing by his kids. It is hard to say if Richie Merritt as the titular White Boy Rick either doesn’t have the charisma to carry the film or if the writing and direction just don’t sell it enough. It is worth a watch and it got me interested in the real story, but the movie definitely has the feel of a condensed novel with some important parts missing to make it feel whole. There is a lot of potential but a lot of misses when it comes to character interactions and just how we have gotten from point A to point B.

Movie about a white kid that looks like Jack Harlow lite, fitting in with black people, and being accused as a snitch. Would have been better if the kid could act. I heard about this because of what a great performer this new kid was. He sucks.
