In the early '80s, Detroit 14-year-old Rick Wershe, Jr. (Richie Merritt) proved a fast study under his low-rent gunrunner dad (Matthew McConaughey), and his growing notoriety in the inner city caught the attention of the FBI-who'd in turn recruit him to infiltrate and inform on the operations of the local drug czar (Jonathan Majors). The bizarre odyssey that followed propels this striking true-crime opus; Bel Powley, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rory Cochrane, Bruce Dern, Piper Laurie, Eddie Marsan also star. 110 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Les Mayfield's update of The Absent-Minded Professor comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while Spanish and French soundtracks have been recorded in Dolby Digital Stereo. Subtitles are available in all three of those languages as well. Supplemental materials are limited to a theatrical trailer. Taking a nod from their animation releases, Disney makes this a bare-bones release. A featurette on the special effects, or even a Flubber game for children would have been appropriate.
