Ranking December 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

13. White Boy Rick

White Boy Rick Matthew McConnaughey
Columbia Pictures

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 60% (6.0/10)

Box Office: Despite testing through the roof for Sony, the Matthew McConaughey-starring crime drama has fallen a few million short of recouping its $29 million budget.

Verdict: Probably one of 2018's most unfairly ignored movies, White Boy Rick tells the fascinating true story of how the FBI scooped up their youngest informant ever, and mostly delivers on its stranger-than-fiction insanity.

Matthew McConaughey, Richie Merritt and Bel Powley lead a cracking ensemble - also including Jennifer Jason Leigh, Brian Tyree Henry, Eddie Marsan, Bruce Dern and Piper Laurie - in a solidly directed crime drama which could've amounted to more, but still delivers a tense, intriguing genre effort.
