Mar 7, 2020 Great indie movie about real life in a real working class town, with realistic, relatable characters. Loved it- this is my kind of movie. See more May 21, 2013 This film has been sitting in my Netflix top 10 suggestions for a very long time until I finally watched it... and holy shit it was awesome! This film was extremely dark and an emotional roller coaster. This indie drama centered around a poverty stricken family and Pennsylvania. "Steel City" is one more spectacularly written and shot indie films I've seen in a very long time. The film was very understated, but so spectacularly written, acted and directed that you always knew what the actors were feeling, what they meant and that there was mutual understanding. And to think, the lead in this film was Tom Guiry. Yes, Smalls from "The Sandlot" and no, he wasn't killing me. It was a truly remarkable piece of cinema and I highly suggest it -- 9/10.

One of the most underrated films. A must see. See more Jun 10, 2010 America Ferrera could've had a bigger role. The star was good, though. I did enjoy the familiar scenery but I wonder what the film says about people from the area. See more May 30, 2010 CAST: Tom Guiry, John Heard, Raymond J. Barry, America Ferrera, Kristian Best, Rusty Gray, James R. Hentrich, Heather McComb DIRECTED BY: Brian Jun SUMMARY: When PJ Lee's (Tom Guiry) father is arrested for vehicular manslaughter, it's just the icing on the cake for a teen whose life is already difficult, thanks to a broken home and dysfunctional relationships. In short order, PJ gets fired, has a falling out with his girlfriend and is kicked out of the family home. MY THOUGHTS: "This movie had some good acting in it, but the story was a bit slow. The issues they all are dealing with is sad, and the acting is there, it's just the story takes awhile to get going. When it starts theres cops, ambulances, and a crash scene. But it never gives all the details of what happend. But I guess it may not have needed to. If you just sit back and let the movie be and not think about the story and where its going, its watchable. But in the end the acting is the only thing good that came out of this. But I still liked it. Still worth seeing." See more Jan 1, 2010 This movie didn't interest me at all on first viewing, and I found myself skipping forward to Clayne Crawford's scenes then skipping again. But when I watched the film with director/cast commentary, it really came alive. Now I can watch it and enjoy it, seeing the artistry that I first missed. Definitely a film with more layers than are obvious on first glance. See more Read all reviews
