The story of Richard Wershe Jr., a 16-year-old who became an FBI informant, and one of Detroit's biggest drug dealers.
It's a shame that this film does not have the right pace and storyline, turning out to be a missing shot (pun intended).
The performances are generally good (especially by Matthew McConaughey), although the characters navigate in a narrative that tries to go from action to drama, without making a transition that makes sense.
I'm a fan of the duo director / cinematographer (they made some eps of Top Boy), so I don't find the tone and atmosphere strange.
The problem is the lack of details and interesting scenes, which make this film really easy to forget.
