Viewing Notes
This played in one of the smallest theaters at AMC and was packed. There were more people in this screening than in my screenings of AQUAMAN and NIGHT SWIM combined, easily. So why is AQUAMAN taking up the IMAX screens and NIGHT SWIM taking up all the Dolby Atmos slots and THE IRON CLAW playing in the littlest theater?
Efron and McCallany are both great in this. Tierney is also good as the stoic mother. Now I need to watch that episode of DARK SIDE OF THE RING to learn more about the family since I don’t follow wrestling at all.

Not exactly a “happy” birthday movie but happy birthday movie nonetheless! Holt really is great and an incredible likeness to their real father. That Dark Side episode will fly by and still have you wanting more details of this family.
