The art direction is bad in a sense of period continuity. The story is kind of all over the place.

A lot of deals go down, and go bad, in White Boy Rick, but the one that really goes awry is the one with the audience.

This is one of those movies that in spite of being based on a true story, one still has to wonder how people could be so dim-witted.

I can think of no reason any bright, witty or halfway sophisticated movie lover-or otherwise normal person-would want to spend 10 minutes with any of the criminal degenerates in this worthless load of crap.

White Boy Rick has that all-too-common problem of feeling simultaneously overlong and like big chunks are missing.
