Full of the meaning of life that exists in the lives of cowboys
Cole, an often troubled teenager is sent to live with his father in Philadelphia. He found warmth and familiarity in the community of black cowboys.
A good life drama movie. It features the story of cowboys who are slowly starting to be left out of city life that is beginning to experience a period of development. A story that is wrapped simply but can have a deep meaning. We also understand how cowboys live in keeping their cultural traditions. In addition, the main conflict here is the less harmonious relationship between father and son which becomes a conflict that has the power and soul of this film. The search for the identity of children who have to struggle in the midst of a different environment from the urban area. Overall, the film is very good to enjoy together with the family. Moreover, there are many life values in the movie. - stevebondi - 14 August 2021
Good acting, some heart, but weak plot :-(
Perhaps trying to bring some recognition to specific modern-day cowboys in Philadelphia, but just whipping together a weak plot around it. Not worth the 2 hours to watch :-( - joeyhope - 24 May 2021
Could have been so good.
About as much story development as a music video, littered with predictable movie tropes with a terrible ending of a horse that's allowed to go back to its 1 bed council flat. Give the characters arcs that develop in unpredictable ways and a storyline that's weaved with twists and turns and this could have been so much more than a good soundtrack over offspeed stylistic shots.
