    a story of family
    It is a well crafted story of family. A family dominated by wrestling and terrible curse and the blind ambitions of patriarch and the fights, not only in ring, of his sons.

    More important, it is an admirable artistic skills demonstration of Zach Efron.

    Fair portrait of tragedies, offering, in wise manner good quantity of bitterness, it represents more than Von Erich family chronicle , like it represents more than a good sport film.

    At final, a chain of emotions is the main gift to viewer and this is result of honest virtue of universal story of a family defined by ambitions, choices, hard work, affection and death.

    In short, just special, in profound sense.

    Worst father award goes to the dad in this film.
    They all wanted to be themselves.

    When they all choose what their father wanted himself to be, they were fated to die.

    Fated to die because of the sheer suffocation, misery, suffering and pain one will feel once they try to be someone they don't want to be. Once someone's forces the will of someone else upom themselves because they cared.

    The one who got away was the one who decided he was himself, with the luck of finding someone for him when he decided to be himself. If she wasn't there, I wouldn't like to imagine what would've happened without that connection.

    The Iron claw of someone's will upon others.
