Chaotic Reviews - 'White Boy Rick'
True crime is a hot commodity and is usually more thrilling than fiction for audiences simply because, well... It actually happened. However, in the past, true crime has often lost its momentum due to showrunners and filmmakers straying away from and over exaggerating what REALLY happened with the attempts of making it more cinematic, much like films such as American Made starring Tom Cruise, the story about the notorious drug smuggler, Barry Seal. It has shown that true crime movies and TV shows that have stayed true to the original stories have gained more success than those that don't. More or less. This genre isn't the only one of course. There are many genres that cater to the notion of "selling out."
