As soon as this hit MAX - I made the time to watch THE IRON CLAW...all by myself...boys, wife and dog...all sleeping.
WHAT WAS THE MOVIE ABOUT?
The Von Erich brothers.
The Von Erich Family.
Wrestling.
It's about the brothers who wrestle to keep their dad's legacy alive. Dad wanted his boys the biggest wrestling stars on the planet. In this movie - you see all the highs and lows of what they went through.
WHAT DID I THINK OF THE IRON CLAW?
I freaking loved it! After watching it - I told my wife that she needed to watch it.
Her reply, "But you've already seen it."
I replied with, "Who cares!! It's such a great movie."
At least I thought it was. Watching this definitely brought back all the feels of the days of a "younger Mike" watching the Von Erich brothers take on The Fabulous Freebirds. Man!! Those matches were great.
I thought the cast was great. I saw a lot of meme's poking fun at Zac Efron on how he looked - not me. I thought he was awesome. In my opinion - he stole the show. His character went through hell. Zac's just great. Hell - everyone brought their A game.
One thing I gotta say...have your tissues ready. MAN!! This movie pulls on your emotions. BADDDD!!! It's crazy what this family went through.
If you haven't watched this yet - Please do. It's a really guuuuuuuuuud movie.
