White Boy Rick

THE CAST Matthew Mcconaughey, Richie Merritt, Bel Powley THE STORY Following in his father’s footsteps of criminal activity, a young teenager embarks on his own dodgy dealings after going undercover for the FBI. THE VERDICT This true story, set in the ’80s, follows teen Rick (Merritt) who gets caught up in the seedy underworld after working as an informant for the feds. He tries to stop his crooked father (Mcconaughey) from being put away behind bars, but his hustling life quickly spirals out of control. It’s a punchy watch with standout performances from all the cast, especially Mcconaughey. CERT 15, 1HR 51 MINS, OPENS 7 DEC
