It's a true story of the Von Erich brothers trying to make it in the world of professional wrestling in the 1980s under the guidance of their tyrannical father. I don't really care about wrestling, and despite its central place in the film, it's not the driving force. The acting is incredible, the writing is strong, and witnessing what these brothers went through is both tragic and powerful. This is one of the best movies I've seen in recent years. It deserved several Oscar nominations, hands down." - Hamilton, Branch Assistant Show less
