Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

White Boy Rick (2018)

Rick's family lives on the edges of the law. His sister's an addict, his father buys guns at shows and then sells them on after illegal alterations, and Rick's following in his footsteps. The FBI is keeping an eye on the family and approaches Rick when he has no choice but to agree to work as an undercover informant. Thing is: he's a minor.

This is based on a true story and it's hard to know just how much of it is true, since the FBI allegedly kept the agreement off the record. If it's true, it's fine. If it's not, they should've made it more interesting as long as they're making stuff up anyway.
