Zac Efron's 'The Iron Claw' Review: A Heart-Shattering Wrestling Epic

"The Iron Claw" fails to deliver as a wrestling drama, despite Zac Efron's physical transformation. The film focuses on the tragic story of the Von Erich family, but its one-dimensional script and performances overshadow the cast's ripped bodies. The lead character, Kevin Von Erich (played by Efron), lacks depth and is overshadowed by his more captivating brother, David. The film explores the consequences of a self-centered father, but fails to make a meaningful impact. Ultimately, "The Iron Claw" falls short of proving the Von Erichs' claim as the greatest family in wrestling history.
