Review of Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017) by Tryasummersault — 30 Nov 2017
Vaughn is a one man wrecking ball full of unstoppable vengeance in this amazingly brutal film full of vigor and no holds barred violence. There's a great story as well in this about going to any lengths to protect who you love no matter what.
The shot composition was impeccable and you really feel like an inmate in these bleak prison environments with immersive detail in every shot. This film flew under the radar much like Bone Tomahawk, but Zahler is quickly becoming a writer/director to watch with some of the most visually striking films of late.
Vaughn also deserves a huge amount of credit for showing vast versatility in this role with tremendous physical prowess and great characterization.
