Description
A young man must choose between what he wants and what he knows is right in this story of love, honor and revenge. Brian Lovaro (Johnny Green), equal parts hustler and idealist, gets by as best he can. When he meets and falls for Amy (Alison Lohman), a beautiful young girl pregnant by her ex-boyfriend, a white supremacist, his world is turned inside out. Their relationship puts them at serious risk when her ex-boyfriend finds out about the romance and swears to kill them both. Desperate, Brian turns to his "brothers" from the streets for help, and they make him a deal that will save their lives, but also change them forever…

 Good flick -- better than your avg crap @ theaters today.. April 14, 2005

With that, I say rent/buy Whiteboy if your are into alot of varied subject matter of today, portrayed by well trained up-and-coming actors. Sure, it's low-budget (hell Jan-Michael Vincent is in it!) so it's not Lord of the Rings or anything but it does portray gritty street and home life in LA and generally, modern sububia. There is a latino edge and race cards are played all over the film but it blows something like the commercially lauded "American beauty" away. Okay so this won't win an Oscar, but that's exactly why I rent or buy a film -- because some academy says it's outstanding. I like realistic movies and this is one. Kinda in the vein of another Ferrar flick, Bad Lieutenant. Gritty. Realistic. Multiple plotlines intertwined. This is what I like in a film so I do recommend it.
ALISON LOHMAN ROCKS August 28, 2004

Alison Lohman rocks in this movie. She is a great actress , and really makes you feel scared for her. I saw her first in White Oleander , and watch everything she is in. If you love Alison Lohman like I do , watch this movie.
 an abel ferrara fan June 16, 2004
When I saw Abel Ferrara was presenting this film, and being a major Ferrara Fan , I had to see it. I was not dissapointed. I can see why Abel Ferrara liked it, and thought this is a film he might have made early in his career.I don't want to spoil the plot by saying what happens , watch it if you want. It is low budget but the story and acting is killer.

This film reminded me of Mean Streets , the way it was shot , and acted , except in Los Angeles. The acting was real also. Cool film.

DO NOT be led into checking this piece of ca-ca out because it has Abel Ferrara's name attatched to it (what the hell was he thinking?). This movie is HORRIBLE. Not, "bad"....HORRIBLE!!! Totally unwatchable and lame. It really deserves 0 stars but Amazon wouldn't let me choose that.
