Steel Country review – Andrew Scott shines in clueless murder mystery

The always excellent Andrew Scott, most recently seen as the “sexy priest” in Fleabag, brings an angular authenticity to the central performance in this drama set in small-town Ohio. He plays Donny, a sanitation worker with mental-health issues whose obsession with the death of a local child puts him in the frame of suspicion. Unfortunately, Scott is the most persuasive element in a film that is atmospherically photographed by Marcel Zyskind but let down by a clueless screenplay which borders, at times, on the risible.
