Real Steel
takes a rather unbelievable premise and turns it into some kind of Over the Top retread. Okay, that’s a
flippant comparison because after taking a guy who drives a truck around the
country to participate in a competition that must appeal to a niche market and
throwing in that guy’s estranged son into the mix until they forge the bonds of
a relationship there’s not much to compare really. It also must be said that Real Steel is a far better film than
that dreadful Sylvester Stallone vehicle from the 80s.
