White Boy Rick<\/em> claims to be based on a true story. Well, let’s just say Hollywood heard a few words about White Boy Rick<\/em> then wrote whatever the Hell they wanted to film<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have to just ignore the “Based on a true story” marketing when watching this. They took a lot of liberties with the facts of the situation. Having said that, this is one good movie. It only got three starts because of the bullshit marketing. Had they said “Loosely Based on” I would have given it four stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew McConaughey<\/a> is just fantastic as always. Even if he’s given a script that sucks he can pull the movie off. He just can. Some day he will get old enough that the magic will be gone, but for now he is still in the golden zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bel Powley<\/a> was a major surprise in this film. She didn’t have a lot of scenes but she really stole the attention when she was on screen. She did it by disappearing completely in the role and “looking the part.” I don’t know how to properly describe it but she disappeared into the “white trash sister trying to climb out of the shit hole” role. I didn’t even question her character or portrayal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMDB doesn’t even list the little kid who came knocking on the door challenging White Boy Rick over the baby his sister had. Man, I don’t care if that scene happened in real life or not. The kid sold it!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all this is an enjoyable watch, especially if you completely ignore “Based on a true story.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
