    An Interesting Indie Movie

    About the movie "Steele Wool" -- Well, the story is different. The heroes aren't heroes. They're offbeat characters. The acting is quite good. The film is worth watching.

    The premise: What happens when a religious woman, a housewife, kills her abusive husband, who a gang of bad guys, who happen to be hit men, also want dead and have placed a reward on his head. Well, they see the housewife as a perfect assassin and hire her to kill people. This lady assassin doesn't mind killing bad guys, but after completing her first assignment she finds out the guy she killed was good guy, and she has remorse and her employers think a remorseful assassin is a risk to their organization, and so she becomes a liability to be eliminated, and so what happens next?

    The lady is accompanied by dude, an ex-beau, who now sees her as a sister, and he and she, go on a dark, comical journey through a kind of hell, but do they find redemption at end? Well ... Watch the movie.

    There's a lot of R-rated language.

    Solid Indie Film That has you at the edge of your seat

    This movie was solid. It would have benefitted from a higher budget but they did a great job with what they presumably given. The acting was tough in certain sections but storyline really carried the film. The concept of a deaf housewife turned hitman is pretty unique.

    This movie was great to see

    The film is slickly paced. Easily one of the best dark comedies I've ever seen which truly makes me feel villainous enjoying it so much. The personalities between the two main leads makes for a wonderful relationship. It's not a 10 but deserved a 8/10.

    Good Indie Movie For A Quiet Night In

    This a good movie for a quiet night in, especially if you want something quirky and not too involved. Although the film lags in parts and is a bit slow getting started, the training scenes were fun and I wouldn't mind seeing further adventures of Tony and Daphne. Cami Varela, who plays Daphne, is good and I hope to see her in more prominent roles in the future.

    Dark but different

    The film is very entertaining but I gave it 4 stars because the profanity was fluently expressed in this production and it's cringy at times.

    Daphne is my fave character because it would just be the average dark genre of film without her.

    The script was pretty decent just hoped the profanity would stop at some point in time, overall interesting.
