Steel

I have never watched a movie in my life with this much music throughout it. It was one long continuous score! It was overly dramatic as well. It would be appropriate at an orchestra event, but not for this film. The whole story could have been told in 30 minutes. There was so much dead air and unnecessary montages.

On a positive note, the set decorator and production designer did a good job.

I will be short. I gave this an 8. The beginning was a bit shaky, I wasn't sure how serious the main actor was at first. But then it all changed.

The music was way beyond this level of cinema and at moments it was taking your attention away from the story but later on it kinda made sense, too (bravo!).

I truly think this deserves a bit more than 6.5 on IMDb (despite the very low viewership). Even though I figured out the twist from the very beginning, I enjoyed every second of it. Chad Connell's front nudity is a bonus. This is one of those gay films that I'll come back to and think about how it made me feel.

I found the film to be somewhat of a psychological mystery, quite good and not what I expected. I had not read any reviews/story line synopsis beforehand, but only had watched the trailer. So, I was not aware of a major aspect of the story line which played out at the end as an unusual, but intriguing twist for me.

The main character Daniel, played by Chad Connell, appeared to be a damaged individual with heavy childhood guilt. He is attractive, has a successful career, but is emotionally stunted. A few of the scenes, whether directed as so, appeared a little awkward, but overall I was impressed with much of Chad Connell's portrayal. One other aspect of the film was that I thought some of the music reminded me of a bygone era and didn't sit right with me. I just thought different music might have been better.

If you are not seeking an action-oriented film, but more of a character study with eye candy, then I would recommend this film as most gay- themed films have vapid characters and unimaginative plots.

Obvious , the purpoise is to be a different film. The embroidery of succes, self isolation, anxiety, panic crisis ,depression, shadows of past, new life are well placed but the work with them seems more complicated than necesary. The story is very simple and it is fair to be so. The contrast between Chad Connell and David Cameron is just brilliant and, in essence, the axis of the film, against the not well coherence. But the fear to not convince to audience of director transforms all in a Baroque construction, in not the most inspired manner. So, a nice film , more than decent.

I think it's best to preface this movie by saying the dialogue is not very good and it starts kinda bad. But it gets much better and Chad Connell is hot enough that you could watch it with the sound off and it would still be worth watching. He is actually quite good with the little dialogue he is given. I kept feeling like there is no way this super hot guy with a model face and body is going to get into it with a dude. But he does and his body is as beautiful as his face. I am here to tell you, I have yet to see a more attractive (and masculine) male lead in any gay love story. Let's just say the film is a 6 or 7 but Chad is a 10. Or an 11? The music is way too loud and was mixed poorly, but it's pretty. There is not a gay man alive who won't be thinking about him long after the movie ends.
