Brawl in Cell Block 99 - S. Craig Zahler
Action & Adventure/Thriller - NR - 2017
Vince Vaughn is a scary motherfucker in this film, to be blunt.
Brawl is worth a watch just for Vaughn’s performance alone; completely different from anything I have seen him in. It’s pretty much on the same plain as previously reviewed films: Revenge & Mandy.
It’s not a story that inspires hope or presents you with a lovable/hero-type protagonist.
Bradley is a conflicted dude; he seems like the type of guy that treats his people well, but if you get in his way - you’re not in for a good time. The grisly violence is a bit much at times, but if you’re a fan of blood-fueled revenge thrillers, you’re in for a wild ride. Seriously, Vince Vaughn is so intimidating in this - massive head tattoo and all - that you will be shocked by his visceral portrayal of a man with no contempt for brutality.
This is what Vaughn’s character in True Detective: Season 2 should have been. For what it’s worth, I did not enjoy this film as much the second time around. Oh, and it's directed by the same guy that did Bone Tomahawk, so you know what kind of violence to expect. -_-
