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.

Haters Gonna Hate...
A good solid 8 and a film with heart. Can't understand the low ratings, but I figure a lot of people don't like the idea of black cowboys, tough, they exist and always have. I can imagine what type of people are giving this a 1/10. Have you learned nothing in this last year?
It's not just a coming of age film, but a cultural lesson, one I had no idea about.
Most of the characters are based on real life cowboys in Philadelphia. Fletcher Street was a real stable until it was destroyed by the Philly authorities for 're development'.
The acting is solid. Idris Elba (Pops) is very good as the strong silent type, his son, Caleb McLaughlin (Cole), grows up fast because he has too. His first day of honest hard work was pretty funny.
This is a well rounded, factual film that shines a light on the injustice in America today and how communities that are trying to do the right thing are screwed over by the system. They ain't rich so they're fair game, same old, same old.
