Ricky Wershe Jr. was once a street hustler, FBI informant and drug kingpin all before he was 16-years-old. He was at the height of his hustle in 1980 in Detroit and his crazy life story has now been turned into a film with the likes of Matthew McConaughey playing Ricky's father, Atlanta's Brian Tyree Henry acting as an undercover cop and the introduction of Richie Merritt playing Ricky.
The trailer below shows some of the struggles that Ricky's father went through as he was seemingly a single father trying to take care of his young son and wild daughter.
Ricky finds himself hustling drugs to play an FBI informant but things get twisted. "You're going to get in too deep and then they're never going to let you out," Rick's father says in the trailer below.
The real-life Ricky was granted parole last summer after spending 30-years in prison. Watch the trailer and catch the film in theaters on September 14, 2018. You guys looking forward to this one?
