Directed by Yann Demange, White Boy Rick takes place in the 1980s in Detroit. During this time, the city’s crack epidemic was at its height with a War on Drugs.

Starring Matthew McConaughey as Rick’s dad, the movie is based on a true story of a blue-collar father and his teenage son, Rick Wershe Jr., played by Richie Merritt.

Rick became an undercover police informant and later a drug dealer before he was abandoned by his handlers and sentenced to life in prison.

The movie also boasts a talented cast including Bel Powley, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Brian Tyree Henry, Rory Cochrane, RJ Cyler, Jonathan Majors, Eddie Marsan, Bruce Dern, and Piper Laurie.

The movie clip is about what was going on in the drug work at the time. Not really a box office appeal but a lesson on the importance of doing the right thing and not breaking the law. 

The movie clip is fantastic. It shows a well written and directed movie with some talented actors.

Demange is a French director who directed a darn good movie called ’71.  Both movies are similar in storytelling with the same placement of the camera. 

The second poster has a white background with the father and son image.

The movie trailer shows a wacky and crazy life on a dwindling spiral.

The movie is streaming now and available on Blu-ray/DVD. The story is tragic but great acting.
