“Concrete Cowboy” (2021) Review: An Endangered and Unknown Subculture
Ricky Staub’s Concrete Cowboy, based on Greg Neri’s novel "Ghetto Cowboy", tells the story of a young teenager forced to adapt to a new lifestyle.

Ali and Sudi, who received a 10-year imprisonment for embedding many bodies in the backyard of a construction they had previously worked on, were now free after completing their sentences. After the past events, both friends are determined not to get involved in this kind of crime again. Two friends start working as a night watchman at an entertainment venue on the Aegean coast, which does not have a business permit. Captain Remzi, who owns the entertainment venue, also runs human trafficking with his boat. While both friends dream of going abroad with the women they love, these plans will fall through with the two bodies wash ashore. Although Ali and Sudi bury these two bodies in order not to get into trouble, they will not be able to escape the complex situation they fell into.

Street Fighter cannot be genuinely recommended, even if it is abundantly clear that much effort was expended.
Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose. The whole venture is frustratingly empty, and left me desiring something more.
If you enjoy the bizarre, silly and entertaining world of the horror B-movies and want a break from the nuanced and poignant big budget horror releases, I have a list of gore-fests from the last ten years to enjoy this October.
The plot could’ve really been interesting if the elements of lycanthropy was integrated with perhaps the struggle of identity of being LGBTQ+. It's an experience for so many that as they’re starting to realizing their true selves, they feel like a monster, especially if they come from unsupportive homes or communities. Instead, the horror and transformation elements seem thrown in without contemplation of how this could deepen the narrative.
A teen comedy that nobody wants to see.
