A rebellious teenager discovers a new world when he goes to live with his father in Philadelphia, the most unlikely place for a cowboy community to exist.
Concrete Cowboy joins a coming-of-age film with an urban western, in a narrative that develops within the father-son relationship, with Idris Elba being the absent father, who never managed to stabilize his life after being in prison, and Caleb McLaughlin, the angry son who wants to be something more, but who follows the easiest and most dangerous route to achieve it, acting irrationally.
The atmosphere of the film is funny, after all it is a group of men and women living in a large American metropolis surrounded by horses, but it loses when it tries to be deep, with lame dialogues that try to pull on the most sensitive side of the audience.
The story is predictable, and after the first 15/20 min you can see how everything is going to unfold.
