The Iron Claw is a 2023 biographical sports drama that centers around the ups and downs experienced by legendary pro wrestling family the Von Erichs.
Written and Directed by Sean Durkin, The Iron Claw is a movie that, although overshadowed by the tragic history of the Von Erichs tried to honor their pro wrestling legacy while telling their unfortunate story. It's hard to tell their tale without acknowledging the saddest aspects of their history, but I do wish they would have shown a few more ups to compensate for all the downs. After all, the Von Erichs were rock stars in the Texas territory, and without a doubt fantastic wrestlers that helped pave the way. The entire cast was incredible except for Aaron Dean Eisenberg whose portrayal of Rick Flair was just awful, but the rest of the actors delivered terrific performances.
As heartbreaking as the second half of the movie is, it was still nice to see the Von Erich story on the big screen. Overall, this was a very good movie that tells a difficult story that I'm sure wasn't easy to fit into just two hours. But whether you're a fan of wrestling or not, this is definitely worth checking out.
