Routine Drama - Steel Country review by GI
A routine whodunnit procedural, a British film, bizarrely set in Pennsylvania, and with plot implausibilities that will make your jaw drop. Excellent Irish actor Andrew Scott is garbage man, Donnie, who exhibits some form of autism, in a small US town when a young boy is found drowned. When the boy's mother tells Donnie that the death wasn't an accident he embarks on an obsessive investigation despite threats from the local police chief to desist. The entire plot is fairly straightforward and offers no real surprises except in some of the sudden things that Donnie does as part of his investigation and they are as surprising and extreme as you can imagine. But for the film they just mark it as rather preposterous, only Scott's dedicated performance makes the film watchable.

Terrific! If you liked Three Billboards ... - Steel Country review by JR
Andrew Scott makes the unrecognisable jump from Moriarty to Donny the Dustman. Great acting. Great suspense. Along the lines of Three Billboards.

What's to like? - Steel Country review by CP Customer
Unattractive, inarticulate lead, utterly banal dialogue, stodgy direction. What's to like? Not a lot! But some satisfaction perhaps in the ending
