June 5, 20187 yr #1 sign that I'm getting old... I'm starting to get tired of all these movies glorifying drug dealers & criminals.
June 5, 20187 yr I like how it says based on "the" true story. Like its something we're all supposed to already know. I have no idea what "the" true story is about. If it's based on "a" true story, okay, but we all know they're all embellished to make for better movies. I'll probably pass.
June 5, 20187 yr I'm guessing there was a white boy named Rick in Detroit in 1984. The rest is all embellishment.

It's based on the life of Richard Wershe Jr, who became the youngest FBI informant ever at age 14. He really did grow up dealing cocaine on the streets of Detroit. So it's basically a movie about a snitch.

That ending too... woof!

Whoever did the screenplay must have been heavily sampling some of the main character's goods and the result was not good.
