This is a good movie. But it does show how the government took advantage of a minor, they straight up lied to him and his family. They had no guilt about doing it either. Everybody should watch this movie with their teenage kids, let them see how our government will lied and take advantage of kids(minors). This movie is based on a true story. It has a sad ending. It pissed me off how the government took advantage.of him. And it's still happening all over

Trailer made it look Better So I got suckered in by the trailer, This was a Good Attempt at a True Story in This Era where TV shows like Snowfall & Narcos are popular. I'm a Big Fan of True Crime Stories & This one was M'eh at Best. Good Actors, but it was like the director didn't know how to put the story together in The Final Editing stages. There were scenes in the trailer that didn't make it into the movie. It's a Rental at Best, If you can Download it for Free Give it a Try, but I wouldn't waste any money on it

Good movie that was based on the cocaine trade in 80's Detroit. Most of movie is as close to factual as possible when it comes to Rick. Goes to work for DEA as a snitch at age 15 after his dad gets busted for selling illegal weapons. Ricky makes a common mistake as an niave 15 year old,as if selling crack in Detroit isn't dangerous enough,but taking the word of DEA agents or narcs on a handshake. Well, that's just out right suicidal.
