Review of Steel

Steel (I) (2015)
4/10
Ultimately better than expected, but the Music????
22 April 2021
At over 90 minutes duration, it's too long. Lead actor actually does a very good job. But the music score and sound effects just kill it. The virtually non-stop piano trio music is unoriginally composed, trite, poorly performed, and played way too loud. Sound effects (think shrieking strings from Pyscho) to accompany Daniel's panic attacks are also over the top. Movie would have been so much better if they'd paid more attention to the sound track, gotten better musical performers and turned the volume down. Strangely, though it took 3 sittings, I did get through the whole thing and came away still liking it.
