The Iron Claw

“The Iron Claw” is the story of a family involved in big time wrestling in the early 1980’s. Four brothers are bred for championship wrestling in Texas by a father who is single minded in his ambitions. Zac Efron plays the oldest brother. This is a very different role for Efron. The rest of the cast are good and each brother has their own personality. It is basically a story of survival. The scenes in the ring are realistic and interesting to watch. So is the over the top bragging before the television cameras. I wouldn’t call this a sports movie as much as a family drama. Not for everyone, but worth seeing.
