Review of White Boy Rick (2018) by Jackusblackus — 02 Oct 2018
It is annoying when a movie's trailers misrepresent the movie. White Boy Rick is not a gangster/crime drama or a dark comedy as the trailers portray. It is really much better and more compelling. It is a sad story of a teenager in a poor broken family growing up in a poor neighborhood in Detroit.
Overall, the movie is decent and the acting is solid. Bel Powley is particularly noteworthy in a supporting role as the sister.
My major complaint about the movie is that it gets sidetracked at the end by calling out the injustice of the outcome. The movie is not about injustice and the detour at the end does not fit.
