embrace your disney channel roots, get absolutely ripped and act your butt off challenge well done, zac. this movie surpassed any expectations i had. what a story, what a film
Clay Werner likedThe Iron Claw7.9 - a soul crushing story that makes for a really tough watch at times. Acting, sets, costumes, music were all solid. What may have amazed me most was all the truth that was cut because it wouldn’t have been believable. Hug your family.
zxki lovedThe Iron ClawThe amount of mental and physical pain I just felt, I'm suing you, Sean Durkin. I absolutely think this is the best sports movie to date. I went in expecting a generic sports movie like 'Ali' (2001). Well, it's none of that. The fights were done amazingly, the pace was perfect, the soundtrack/score…

The Iron Claw is, in its purest premise, a kind of sports "Succession" where the fight for parental attention plunges the clan into a downward spiral of tragedy and pain.
livy dislikedThe Iron ClawSuper sad movie 0/10 do not recommend
Superbad is "meh" onThe Iron ClawMovie is shot amazingly and has a top notch soundtrack, the acting is pretty solid, but god why did such an otherwise good and heart tugging story have to involve wrestling.. its just so lame. Edit: This is a good movie if you like wrestling, but i’m not a fan of it so my other statement at the…
- Addy lovedThe Iron Claw
Best film I have ever watched. Being a 13 year old girl, I went into this not expecting to understand the film. After watching i have become fixated with the heartfelt story of the Von Erich’s. A bit upset they didn’t include Chris but i understand why they had to cut him. 10/10
Garrett lovedThe Iron ClawMust watch if you were/are a wrestling fan like me. Non-fans will enjoy it too, but you’ll appreciate it much more if you’ve followed at all. No joke I went to the gym immediately after I finished watching because Zac efron is so yolked 💪
Connor Ence lovedThe Iron ClawThe only movie that’s made me uncontrollably cry. If Zac Efron doesn’t get at least a nomination for his role, I would be surprised. Best film of 2023 in my opinion

KCKedryn CrowellDefinitely a great movie in my opinion but it is a bit depressing see how those boys were treated and the ending of the movie with only one left, over all good movie though

Unfortunately, Durkin’s script is so shallow that every character is reduced to a simple sketch.

The Iron Claw is as exuberant as it is mournful, and the high spirits of performance and achievement are inseparable from the price that they exact.
