Review of Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017) by M W — 18 Dec 2017

Can't believe reviewers gave this one such high marks. Clearly a Tarantino imitation...without the artistic flair of Tarantino. Worse, it doesn't know what genre it is--the first half is a serious prison drama and then suddenly, when he goes to the max facility, it is like Dorthy descending into Oz--it turns comic book, completely over the top and unbelievable.

Editing through the movie sucks--the director has not learned the "start late, end early" adage. And this movie was far too much like another one that came out last year. To the filmmaker: Be more ORIGINAL.

Create a genre for yourself that is purely you.
