Forgettable.

I guess I theoretically could feel sorry for the actual person this movie was based around? Maybe? But not for this character. Nothing about _White Boy Rick_ grabbed me, least of all the utterly never-congenial Matthew McConaughey, who I seem unable to escape recently, desperate though I am to do so.

_Final rating:★★ – Definitely not for me, but I sort of get the appeal._

Review By: Gimly

There is an another more compelling story behind White Boy Rick – the tale of the FBI’s manipulation of a young witness, grimy Detroit cops, a dishonest mayor and over the top sentences for non-violent crimes.

Unfortunately, the motion picture concentrates more on the connections between a low-life single parent and his children, which is a significantly less captivating story. Much slower than anticipated.

Solid performance by Richie Merritt Jr. however, and Matthew McConaughey fully embraced his character.

Surprisingly sobering and well worth seeing.
Rick Wershe Jr’s claim to fame, or infamy if you prefer, was that at fourteen he was the youngest ever FBI informant before becoming a kingpin drug dealer at sixteen. Yann Demange’s (he made “’71”), film “White Boy Rick” is a ‘Serpico’-like account of how Rick got into this and it makes for surprisingly sobering viewing. It didn’t help that his dad, (an absolutely terrific Matthew McConaughey), was a low-life gun dealer and his sister, (Bel Powley, brilliant), a junkie. You might say that with a family like this, a life of crime was inevitable.

It’s a tragic story that Demange never exploits and if it isn’t quite in the same class as “’71” it may be because this is material we’ve seen too often in the past. In the title role newcomer Richie Merritt is excellent and the film looks terrific, (Tat Radcliffe was the cinematographer), moving nicely from Hollywood crime movie gloss to documentary realism often in the same scene. In the end, this is a grim, downbeat little movie but it’s hard-to-believe true story is one worth telling and Demange tells it very well indeed.

White Boy Rick
White Boy Rick is based on true facts. What should had been a thoughtful drama turns into a gloomy and an interminable bore.

Set in mid 1980s Detroit, a city rife with violence and drugs. Rick Wershe Sr (Matthew McConaughey) buys cheap guns, modifies them and sells them on. He is looking for the Golden Fleece to give his kids a better life. It might be too late, his daughter is already addicted to crack.

Teenage son Ricky Wershe Jr (Richie Merritt) gets into into drug dealing and informing for the FBI about rival black drug gangs, one of which he has managed to infiltrate. The film has a narrative that law enforcement coerced Ricky Jr into selling drugs and then betrayed him. When Ricky is later arrested, he was given a life jail term with no chance of parole because of Michigan’s then tough drug laws.

Ricky Jr served almost 30 years in jail before being released.

However the film paints everybody in a bad light but it is so uninvolving. It is a tedious drama when it might had worked better as a cynical dark comedy.

McConaughey raises the game when he appears. Newcomer Merritt brings a gauche naive quality to Ricky Jr who let’s face it was not too bright. You can sense that when he ‘borrow’s’ his grandfather’s car, leaves the keys inside as he goes to meet his sister in a diner. The car gets stolen.
