Best Netflix movies: Concrete Cowboy

Starring Caleb McLaughlin, Jharrel Jerome, Idris Elba, Byron Bowers, Lorraine Toussaint, and Clifford “Method Man” Smith, Ivannah Mercedes, and Devenie Young

Concrete Cowboy premiered on Netflix on Friday, April 2, 2021, and it’s easily one of the best Netflix movies of the year.

The film was supposed to be released in theaters, but it moved to Netflix as a Netflix original because of the pandemic.

Concrete Cowboy is based on the book Ghetto Cowboy by G. Neri. The book and movie tell the story of Cole, a teenager played by Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin, who moves to Philadelphia to live with his father. There, Cole gets involved in an urban horse-riding community at the Fletcher Street Stables.

This movie has the potential to be nominated for a bunch of awards. The cast is incredible. I was especially impressed with McLaughlin and Jerome, who starred in the Netflix original series When They See Us.

If you need a great movie to watch on Netflix tonight and enjoy incredible performances and just all-around movie magic, Concrete Cowboy is the Netflix movie for you!
