Watch Steel Toes For Free

I love this movie so much

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

A bit difficult to rate, Steel Toes goes over some dark and unpleasant subject matter - namely violence, ignorance, racist-skinheadism. It delves into it's content unafraid of coarseness of dejectedly hateful thoughts and dialog. It pits a Jewish lawyer intentionally representing a super-punk skinhead. Some of the good aspects include the fireworks-laden dialog along with the banter and fear involved with each confrontation. The process supposedly consumes both characters, but unbelievably at the cost of the lawyer's marriage - I had a hard time buying that. Nonetheless, both the leads turn in very good identifiable performances. The climactic scenes are full of angst, pity, yelling, and realization - very well acted out. However I didn't care for the epilogue too much - I thought the movie could've ended with the perpetrators realization and impact of his crimes. Maybe worth a look if you can stand the unpleasant subject matter.

this movie was terrible. the way he changes him from a Neo-Nazi is by acting like a drill Sargent for 5 minutes (in this time the main character is in a trance because evidently he is completely brainwashed!!!! DUHN DUHN DUHN). and somehow that makes him tear up and change his ways. this is just a political agenda to make every one think that racist are just brainwashed drones. just complete bull sh**. has nothing to be with being angry or being confused but i mean they make it so that the main character was literally brain washed. at least thats my opinion, but either way the movie sucks no matter your political beliefs. it was just a gay after school special

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.

Powerful, moving... I am so VERY impressed and humbled. From what I saw on your first cut into what I watched tonight, this movie which forced my attention time and again back to watch and refocus on the screen, had such a wonderful progressive movement from that movie into this one. I've jotted down thoughts as I was watching it... most all of these notes are therefore in sequential order but just quick thoughts: Great grab at the beginning, one thinks it's an action movie. The slow effects- spot on- good! Entering into the cell first time -- the grid work shadowing -- wonderful Overall: Music -- oboe, cello, violin, piano....touches a persons heart strings.Sound effects... really hammer home many things; hard, cold, etc. of the prison environment.The first St. Viatteur scene with Muslim and orthodox Jew was good transition.Really well cut re: close in and full shots... especially first meeting and last (e.g., chair breaking) scene. Yes, the tub scene worked with Danial, finally I understood what he was thinking and then he focused on the "Victim Impact Statement".Showing the passing of time... worked well... good angles of the prison- stark, cold.Interior prison scenes: really worked, bars, blocks, sun off the wall.It was very clear at the beginning... the dialog which meant to convey 'try me for me, not for what I believe', etc.Danny and mike "what happened with you today" worked great... it wasn't necessary to know what and why.... leaves the minutiae up to the audience... yet, the frustration is clearly seen... based on prior scenes and what was going on in that one.The window-washing scene... so clearly showed Danny's frustration at so many things but then framed against a "random act of kindness"Very clearly you were able to capture the home and work responses to his work on this case with very little air time.The title grew on me... as it's significance was played up during the course of the movie. ALL scenes carried a very nice juxtapositions between Dan/mike Great scenes to close with... jail vs. free ... yet both were in their own prisons.And the end provided hope for them and for us. Wonderful Work.
