Review of White Boy

White Boy (2002)
3/10
Racial criss cross
16 April 2019
In the midst of all the hip hop you'll find at the end the hint of the plot from one of Alfred Hitchcock's classic films Strangers On A Train with a racial twist.

Young Johnny Green who has to hustle for every buck gets himself involved with the already pregnant Alison Lohman. She's pregnant with the fetus from skinhead Jonathan Avildsen, but she's given him the gate. But he won't let her go.

At the same time a really mean racist cop Jan-Michael Vincent in his farewell performance executes a young black drug dealer and neatly covers it up. His crew wants vengeance.

So when Green and the crew discover each other it takes a while but they do have a mutual interest. And no one forces anyone into anything.

I'm not sure how Hitchcock would have liked this. It's pretty mediocre.

Watch if you want to see how this works out for all concerned.
