Critics' reviews

"The concept may not be bad, but there are times when the execution borders on embarrassing"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"There’s a coziness and simplicity to the production that would be better served on TV. Cinema-size, it comes off as corny, antiquated and slightly cheesy"

Leonard Klady: Variety
"'Steel' plays like a Saturday morning cartoon -- overdone stunts and hokey chase sequences with the hero on a motorcycle"

Peter Stack: SFgate
"The film is slow-moving, overlong and never more ambitious than a TV feature"

Dave Kehr: New York Daily News
