Review of Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017) by Compi24 — 21 Jul 2020
What starts out as a seemingly grounded take on one man dealing with a legal slip-up quickly descends into a bombastic, brutal and unwaveringly entertaining love letter to the grindhouse films of yore.
"Brawl In Cell Block 99" finds writer/director S. Craig Zahler at his most intense and lead performer Vince Vaughn at his most charismatic and imposing. This is one of those movies you just look back at and marvel at, thinking, "that entire sequence of events happened in the same movie?" Movies this unique — and not to mention filmmakers with this specific of a voice and style — don't come around very often.
Consider me honed in on whatever S. Craig Zahler has next in the proverbial chamber.
