Steel

“Heroes don't come any bigger.”

Certified Crap. CrapScore 62, rated by 1 admin.

Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.

Why it’s crap
Shaquille O'Neal builds an armored suit to stop weapons dealers, then tries to maintain a secret identity at seven feet tall. The earnest neighborhood heroics have some warmth. The clanking costume and awkward dramatic delivery make the disguise the least convincing thing on the street.
