Review of Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017) by Tim M — 10 Jan 2018
S. Craig Zahler is now a filmmaker to watch as he's crafted another engaging film. 'Brawl in Cell Block 99', despite being written before 'Bone Tomahawk', was put on screen two years later.
It's a violent gritty psychological drama with Vince Vaughn playing a man who was just laid off. I'm sure you can figure up where he ends up based on the title, but the journey is fun albeit violent.
It's possibly Vaughn's best work. Don Johnson plays the warden and on the surface it sounds hokey, but it's anything but. It's a neat indy that you should check out if you can get it on demand.
Final Score: 8.2/10.
