Steelyard Blues review dulls with familiar faces
Dennis Yares finds Steelyard Blues slow and lifeless with clichéd dialogue. Don Sutherland and Jane Fonda, known from Klute, fail to spark emotion as an ex cop and a prostitute tied to a half baked plan to fly off in a repaired aircraft. The 93 minute film blends comic and tense scenes poorly with self directed acting and moments of wordless quiet that stand out amid a weak screenplay.
