The Iron Claw. 2023.
Biography charting the life of the wrestling family The Von Erichs.
Holt McCallany plays the patriarch Fritz who is the big Texas wrestler and encourages his sons Kevin, Michael, David and Kerry to follow in his footsteps, and shows how tough of a man and father he is. Zac Efron is the second oldest brother David trying to do what is right by the family and do something his father couldn't do and get the championship wrestling belt.
You don't have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy the film or know about the "Von Erirch Curse", David seems to drop a few bits in and brushes it off. The film does mention the older brother who passed away at 6 years old but for some reason writer/ director Sean Durkin missed out the other brother Chris, having said that Durkin did do his research on the family. The acting in this was perfect as you can feel the heart break when a death was on screen and the lengths David went to protect his own family. Certainly recommended.
