 Small town or not - life's woes and heartaches June 29, 2008
I waited and waited for this particular movie to make it to the DVD circuit. Why? It's set in a location that is real and very close to my hometown. Was it worth it? Well, the story line was rather boring but it was definitely one many experience today. Especially with the economic situation of the local job market, this movie exhibits how "lay-offs" and plant closures, even big time company buy outs,effect the family life style. The cast for this film was great. Enough exposure for the newbies to make a name for themselves but also some good local time for the older actors. Even though the price for this DVD was higher than most, it's worth it. Perhaps it will someday be available at a cut-rate video shop, I'm happy to have spent both the money and the time to watch it. Good job to our young director - a small budget to work with still produced a very true and realistic flick.
 great movie, but slow moving June 1, 2008
i just finished watching Steel City. i can't believe no one reviewed it yet. this is a great movie... and super acting by the minor characters in this movie. i'm talking about the actor that plays PJ Lee (Guiry). he is phenomenal in the role, and he def does deserve his own movie...
while it has great acting by some total unknown acting names (at least unknown to me, except for Heard)... this movie is kind of a sad one, becuase of what happens to each of the characters along the way, especially PJ's character...you root for Guiry's character, like, 'when is it going to get better for him', it gets better for him at the end, but it still leaves a sad ending for what this kid has endured, lived with and is still living with, even though by the end of the movie, his character is prospering..
i can't give it away without giving away the whole movie...
the music soundtrack is great in it too.
def get this movie or rent it. i'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 becuase of the fact that its a lil slow moving. slow building, slow to climax... it has its lil peaks, but once the truth comes out, it keeps climaxing... thats when it got good for me and kept me watching...
def a good watch...
