based on a true story

The minor drug dealer should never be violent become, yet he stays for more than three decades behind bars. A judicial scandal, which is based on true events. The ideal film template.
Matthew McConaughey absolutely unpretending
“White Boy Rick” back directly into the Detroit of the 1980s. The Setting seems dirty and drab, uninviting. It fits to that mood. Richie Merritt plays the impassive acting and private life bored Richard Wershe Jr. with stoic precision. His father, Matthew McConaughey embodies, with semi-long, and back licked hair, a moustache and Belly. An inwardly torn character, a completely modest. “White Trash” is like McConaugheys signature role. The scenes with the father-son Duo are at their strongest.
coordinates The implementation and also the acting Ensemble is convincing, yet the spark is not jumping completely. What Richard Wershe Jr. happened to you, is a judicial scandal, as he is in the book. But White Boy Rick is scratching “” more on the surface. It is not only a criticism but an indictment of American society, in the American System. So much is likely to be after the cinema gear safely, with the right things is not received in the case, everything. The movie offers only a one-sided view on the events. And this is its major weak point.
conclusion
“White Boy Rick” gurgles along, with almost as little zeal as Richie Merritt, alias Richard Wershe Jr. to progress through his life seems to be. The presence of Matthew McConaughey enhances the Film, these roles are made for him. But “White Boy Rick”, is missing an arrangement in the big picture. You may leave the cinema a little thoughtful, a lasting impression of the strip can be but not necessarily.
