I saw this movie yesterday, and I thought it was solid. A lot of it went down when I was a kid, so my perspective at that time was different than how it is now having my own child and both parents are gone.

Movie was solid to me, I saw it a couple days ago. I feel like since they mentioned the older that died because he drowned, they could've at least mentioned Chris Von Erich If they weren't going to show him in the movie, but it is what it is. I like the movie.

This is like one of the best examples of the Book of Job I ever seen, even if it’s not accurate.

Appreciate the blessings God gives you, don’t let pride and hubris ruin the lives of those around you.

just came from seeing this

if youre a mark and/or no nothing about the von erichs then you will love the fukk outta this movie

if you something about the von erichs and/or have actually seen at one of them wrestle in your lifetime then yeah you can tell they took some liberties with their story a little...but will still find it entertaining like i did

the actors all killed their roles...esp dude from lights out as fritz and zac as kevin...i feel like at times they hopped in and out of kayfabe in certain parts of the movie...particularly with fritz's scenes..i also felt like they shied away from the wild shyt the von erich brothers were known for in their primes..they didnt go all out...also kind of messed up they omitted chris von erich..yes he didnt become a star but he was still a part of everything
