White Boy Rick

Mixed feelings about this one I think they did a good job with the look of a 80's era Detroit and mad respect for the acting they didn't feel like they were acting (to me) they felt like just ordinary people and although it was based on a true story it was hardly worth two hours of screen time Just not the type of story I'm into

Sometimes it moves too fast, sometimes you don't see things that you really should see, but when it actually settles down and tells its tale it can be fairly compelling stuff, especially since McConaughey is great here. The problem is that since there is so much average stuff in between the few scenes where it's allowed to breathe it has a hard time building momentum. I can't call it "good" but it's pretty close.

MM character had a lot of qualities that reminded me of my father. Always the dreamer. Left me thinking about a lot of the less than legal things that we'd (my brother, him and I) partake in. Maybe I should write a book or make a movie or I could just write reviews that get read by 4 people on the best film website criticker.com

Being the youngest informant might make for some interesting conversations at parties but it doesn't make someone interesting.

A good movie, so happy I found a good movie on Netflix. There are some very nice shots in its, I like the greyish colours and the city. The actors/persona are solid.

Ok, nothing special.

hikayenin defalarca izlenmiş olmasından "yaratıcı ekip" dahi sıkılmış gibi zira eldeki malzemenin nasıl kurutulup söndürüldüğüne, nasıl ton olarak bu kadar renksiz kalabildiğine şaşırtıyor. elbette iyi bir senaryoyla bambaşka bir işe dönüşmezdi ama en azından iyi bir kapalı anlatı olabilirmiş. geviş getiren ve nerede neyi öne çıkaracağını bilemeyen, biraz da politik olarak münasebetsiz bir iş.

It’s difficult to know how to feel about what happens to Rick Wershe, Jr. at the end of White Boy Rick, and this makes it difficult to decide how I feel about the movie. If the film wants us to take a side, I can’t tell which it is. This makes me dissatisfied with the film, which is a disappointment because I like and care about this character, and Richie Merritt as White Boy Rick does a nice job playing him.

Can't not love a movie that has Danny Brown's laugh in it.

Well done but heartbreaking story.

An uneven yet entertaining little film. Worth a watch.

Would've been a lot better if they showed anything he did to get arrested.

A sad story that does connect with the audience emotionally, however the film itself was a little slow and bleak.

I went into the movie not sure what to expect. But the fact the movie was a true story was interesting. I think it shows the struggles in Detroit, even for a white family. It shows the life of Rick Jr, which happens to be a roller coaster. I think mainly because there is no true father figure or family support here available to him, and it is also clear that the politicians can't create such a government that allows the low class in these urban places to rise.

Story and plot is constructed very flimsy and while movie tries hard to be gritty reality drama I felt that it fails at that. Often time skips have not helped either.

Very good.

The acting is good in this movie. The script starts off really well but it has some slow spots. There are more interesting parts in the story than boring ones. Overall I would recommend this film.

not so good

Quite solid, but not so good that you can forget that you've basically seen it all before.

Good cast. Semi-interesting story. Terribly dry film.

Matthew McConaughey after viewing this entire film is definitely the stand out but also feels like he was wasted on a few big moments. He shines and does so valiantly but the movie takes to long to get going and does not really stay where you think it will. It is almost 3 different films in one while not spending enough time on each act. It jumps from Ricky to being on the up to being the big man to back to how it was at the start. With all that going you would think something memorable happened

2 extra points for Danny Brown cameo LOL!!

Matthew McConaughey olmasa, çekilecek tarafı yok. İşlenen konu alışagelmiş de olsa ilgi çekici fakat anlatım, çok düz. Özel bir yanı olmayan, fazlasıyla yavan bir film.

Dull and boring despite fine acting and nice production design. White Boy Donnie Brasco this ain't.

Another wasted movie for McConaughey's filmography.
