The Iron Claw: parents' guide

Rough ring action throughout, with kicks, slams, bloodied foreheads and a man thrown onto concrete. A motorcycle crash costs a man his foot, one brother vomits blood, and a suicide by gunshot shows a bloody chest wound.

Strong language: Movieguide counted about nine f-words and Plugged In about eight, plus s-words, 'bastard,' 'bitch,' 'goddamn' and other misuses of God's and Jesus' names.

A couple has sex in a truck while clothed, a man masturbates in the shower (shown from the waist up), and a man's bare backside is glimpsed in a locker room. Lots of kissing and shirtless wrestlers.

Wrestlers on tour drink heavily, snort cocaine and take pills; after his accident one brother grinds up painkillers and snorts them, and he crashes a motorcycle while drunk. A steroid injection is implied. Family drinking and smoking are common.

Grief runs through the film: one brother dies of illness, and two take their own lives, one after a coma leaves him brain damaged. An older brother's childhood death is recalled, and the father won't step in when a son says he wants to die.
