Steel Movie Review 1997

Metal specialist John Henry Irons (O'Neal) has designed a top-secret military weapon that falls into the hands of a street gang. Donning a suit of armor he designed, he become super hero Steel and sets out to end the reign of terror of former colleague turned super villian Burke (Nelson). Adaptation of popular DC comic keeps target audience in mind with lots of action and plenty of humor. Shaq proves once again that as an actor he's a pretty good basketball player.
