Efron brak door met High School Musical, maar de laatste jaren kiest hij steeds interessante projecten uit. Zo wist hij hoge ogen te gooien in The Greatest Showman en kroop voor Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile zelfs in de huid van Ted Bundy. In The Iron Claw speelt hij weer de ultra gespierde Kevin Von Erich.
Verhaal
De film werd gemaakt door Sean Durkin, o.a. bekend van de sterk onthaalde The Nest. Hij schreef tevens het script, dat gaat over de familie Von Erich, een dynastie van professionele worstelaars die geschiedenis schreven aan het begin van de jaren '80.
De trailer zag er al goed uit, maar nu geven de allereerste recensies ook aan dat het een zeer goede film is. Bekijk een handjevol reacties hieronder.
Dallas was the only place #TheIronClaw premiere could've happened. So much love in the room for the Von Erichs, and for a film that somehow manages to perfectly capture Dallas while telling one of the most heartbreaking stories I've ever seen on screen. pic.twitter.com/KzYtMoP1RQ

#TheIronClaw was phenomenal! The Von Erich's story is heavy, emotional, and tragic and Sean Durkin did a great job telling their story. Zac Efron gives the best performance of his career and Jeremy Allen White continues to be a household name. Best picture nom?! ? pic.twitter.com/RcKwHL1dyD

#TheIronClaw REVIEW: EMOTIONAL. BRUTAL. HISTORIC! A bold, horny drama that isn't afraid to get down & dirty. Brilliant chemistry, sensual imagery & several sequences so steamy they'll arouse your iron rod. This isn't just another biopic, it's the best A24 film ever! A fitting end pic.twitter.com/Us7losBifc

Sean Durkin delivers the sort of the Von Erich family with grace and care. Zac Efron carried the film in both emotional and physicality delivering the best performance of his career. A story of family, wrestling and tragedy. I loved it.

#TheIronClaw is tremendous, heartbreaking, and will have you in tears at the unbelievable tragedy that tore this great wrestling family apart. This is Sean Durkin's best film yet as he continues to explore isolated families torn apart by outside pressure including faith and need
