    Andrew W. Walker is superb

    Little film with giant acting especially by Andrew W. Walker and David too off course!

    great until the last 20 minutes

    This was an 8/10 until the final 20 minutes. Then it got very, very stupid.

    I suggest you watch it. It is worth watching, but ugh, the end blows hard. It progresses from an insightful, touching movie to...ugh.

    Watch it. You'll see.

    An uninteresting chapter in the Skinhead Saga

    The movie is fairly well acted and produced, however the movie lacks originality, warmth, and anything that would make the tale necessary to tell.

    Forgiveness is the primary theme, but never fully explored. The interesting plot points, such as the Lawyer's family shunning him for defending the skinhead, are left unfinished.

    The ending leaves you feeling downhearted rather than uplifted. The skinhead's change of heart is hard to take seriously.

    The character's motivations needed to be explored more. This seems like an empty "After School Special."

    Boring!

    Serious flaws in the script,and pacing in this movie. I had enough of the movie halfway in,was extremely slow and going too and from,and backwards,and forwards.... Boring overall!

    Excellent performance by David Strahairn & most of the cast

    It is a movie that should be required viewing in schools. I was privileged to see it at the Woodstock Film Festival this past year. Unfortunately, films of this caliber that have a vital message rather than providing moviegoers with a thrill a minute "entertainment" too often do not receive sufficient funding get them into the local movie houses. The plot is timely and the acting is superb and realistic. I felt that, possibly in order to cut expenses the story was cut short. The "interplay" between Danny and his wife, Anna, and Danny and his brother could have been given more attention. Hopefully, the fact that David Strahairn is starring will provide the necessary backing to give the public an opportunity to see Steel Toes.

      Danny Dunckelman: [in ending the first meeting with his neo-Nazi client] Do you have any reason for wanting me on this?

      Mike: Like I said: you're a humanist, liberal Jew, so you gotta do your very best.

      Danny Dunckelman: Oh, yes, that's right... 'Course. I forgot.

      [uneasy chuckle]

      Mike: In an ideal world, I'd have you eliminated. In this world I need you more than anyone.
