The Last Rodeo, a drama with country America at its heart, opened in theaters on May 23. Starring Neal McDonough, the story of a retired rodeo legend risking it all to save his grandson sparked interest among many, and rightly so. Fans remained patient with the flick’s digital debut schedule, and their patience paid off fairly recently. The offering, which is heavy on themes like past trauma and familial devotion, dropped for at-home viewing on June 24, although it is not available on Netflix.
Produced by Angel Studios and co-starring Sarah Jones, Mykelti Williamson, and Christopher McDonald, The Last Rodeo is available to stream digitally on Apple TV and Fandango. The movie can be purchased for USD 24.99 and rented for USD 19.99 for 48 hours. The film, with a 69 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, can be viewed on Amazon Prime Video as well. While Netflix may not house The Last Rodeo, the streamer has another highly popular alternative for fans of the sports genre that delivers not only gritty action but heartfelt moments.
The streaming leader has something for all, even fans of The Last Rodeo, who were left disappointed. Netflix’s Idris Elba starrer is unmissable.
The movie echoes the emotional pull of The Last Rodeo
The 2020 American drama film, Concrete Cowboy, starring Idris Elba alongside other underrated but exponentially talented actors like Jharrel Jerome and Caleb McLaughlin, is available on Netflix, thanks to the streamer scooping it right after its Toronto Film Festival premiere. While the film is purely a work of fiction and is derived from a novel titled Ghetto Cowboy by Greg Neri, it features several members of the Fletcher Street riding community as supporting characters, elevating the authenticity of the issue that makes up its plot.
