For an intriguing, hardcore, and heartbreaking film you need to watch “White Boy Rick.” This is a hard one to watch because it's based on a real life story (see attached article to this review) and the life of this family is not pleasant. I am by no means excusing what WBR did but at the same time he was used by the police and FBI at a young age and I don’t know that he knew any other way to go as far as making the decisions he did. It really is a miracle he didn't get killed (he came close but survived one shooting).
The performances in the film are amazing and the energy of the film just sucks you in. On another note, the film has one of the funniest lines I have heard in film in a long time. Whether or not it was meant to be intentional I don’t know but it's too funny.
White Boy Rick (WBR) and his dad just met WBR's illegitimate daughter and on the way out to the car, Rick Sr. tells WBR that neither he nor his mom planned on having him or his sister but everything still turned out ok...WBR says, 'Dad, your daughter is a junkie and I am s@“&%ing into a bag (due his being shot)!' Amazing film!
