Elba's latest cinematic effort was Netflix drama Concrete Cowboy, which received four stars from Digital Spy in our review.
"The familiarity of the story is down to the plot: "Teen on the verge sent to a new and daunting place and finds community and acceptance." That in and of itself is a story we've seen before.
"What makes Concrete Cowboy worth watching is the completely unique setting, the characters' dynamics, and the power of its actors," this read.
Concrete Cowboy is now streaming on Netflix.
