The Iron Claw Movie was fantastic.
Pros: I liked the close bond between the brothers Kevin, Kerry, David & Mike. I feel for a lot of the losing of each of the brothers throughout the story. This film was perfectly made with a sense of care. Zac Efron was the best actor in the whole movie in my opinion & Buy the end it did leave us with not knowing the answer to “if the full Von Erich family coast or not”.
Cons: I worse like to see of there other wrestlers have more of a role to play in the story and It can be hard to watch at times.
