Cole (Caleb McLaughlin) is out of control and is taken to go live with his father Harp (Idris Elba) in Philadelphia. Harp will never nominated for "Father of the Year." He is part of a dying bred of the Fletcher Street cowboys. Harp has strict rules. Cole must sneak out to associate with his old childhood friend Smush (Jharrel Jerome) who has dreams of leaving, but hangs out with the wrong crowd.

This is a drama that never drew me in. It is inspired by Philadelphia horses, but didn't tell the hole story.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Well I guess maybe a little bit ... wordplay and jokes aside, this is quite the powerful coming of age story. With social message and issues on the forefront. And quite the performances to boost! And while you sort of expect that from the main man Idris Elba, you might be surprised by his son (in a positive way that is).

But there is another man who doesn't get enough credit for his acting: Method Man! While mostly in smaller roles, his charisma and his acting ability are on a high level and he always helps a movie he's a part of. Of course he is better known as rapper, but that doesn't mean he can't be known for both things. Some people are just gifted like that.

But as I said, this is more about the kid ... and his journey - no pun intended. Really well made drama, with a touch of Western mixed into it (as the title obviously suggests of course).

A heartfelt movie about the real life phenom of cowboys in Philadelphia, that told an interesting story but lacked character depth. It was missing the connection that emotionally connects you the characters. I loved the vibe though, somber yet hopeful.
