Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSeveral of the actors are real-life cowboys of North Philly.
- GoofsWhen you first see Cole he is sitting down outside the principal's office with his hands handcuffed behind him and by himself with no authority figure with him. Additionally, he was not tethered to a pole or anything. This is highly unusual. A handcuffed student would not be left outside of a room unintended, especially in a situation where they can easily get up and leave.

Featured review
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).
