Brawl in Cell Block 99 Blu Ray Review
Know this:Bone Tomahawk, the horror western that tore at our guts last year, was no fucking fluke. Writer/director Due south. Craig Zahler is the real deal when information technology comes to B-movie minded badass pictures and Vince Vaughn, bald and in shape as the drug dealing focal betoken of the movie, is a car dismantling titan – complete with a cross tattoo on the back of his head - in Zahler'southward follow-upwardly characteristic,Brawl in Jail cell Block 99.
The film opens with Vaughn, playing Bradley Thomas, a reformed tow truck operator, getting laid off. He goes home to find that his wife, Lauren (Jennifer Carpenter), is having an affair. And so he beats upward her auto. Literally. He tears information technology apart, throwing its hood in the yard and gutting information technology of its life. He and Lauren take to brand a change.
And then he quits the clean life, trading in the sour times for sunshine living and bigger houses.
Information technology'south back to drug running and – 18 months later – life has significantly improved. With absurd R&B classics as its driving music, Zahler packs his second film with more soul and whole hell of a lot more than meanness as Bradley – because y'all don't dare call him Brad – makes his rounds, impregnates his wife, and finds himself in jail with a new assignment, thanks to the unwarranted visit from Placid Human being (Udo Kier) to impale an inmate at the notorious Reddish Foliage prison house or his wife and his unborn babe gets killed.
But Warden Tuggs (Don Johnson), in one case Bradley arrives at the maximum-security penitentiary, just isn't going to make information technology easy on him. With enough brutality to make Rambo wait like a children'due south film, Brawl in Jail cell Block 99 slow burns its way into your retinas.
With absurd blues and steady blacks, this product is steely affair of muscles and machismo.Brawl in Cell Cake 99, at a time when too many movies are taking themselves fashion too seriously, is a startlingly groovy time in matinee land. But watching Vaughn go toe-to-toe with the law and with other drug runners in an extended shootout gone wrong is seriously – thanks to long takes and no quick edits – a jaw-dropping experience.
The movie, quite literally, lands every dial, knocking its audience dorsum on their heels with crackling dialogue and a crisp narrative that, while very much-ingrained in the universe of schlocky B-movies, feels shocking and original and so completely new that it'southward unforgettably bad to the bone. You lot see bones break; skin tear; blood spatter every which way.
Bradley, thanks to his uber trigger-happy tendencies, finds himself in a world of injure inside the tightly controlled prison. He's so closely watched within the heavily guarded prison that his job – now that he is in far also in debt to a Mexican drug cartel – feels next to impossible. And the scenes of his meaning wife being tortured don't assistance things at all. This is a tight fight to the finish and it puts Vaughn in a seriously corking identify to band in the New Year from.
With this release, author/director Southward. Craig Zahler earns a new devotee.Brawl in Jail cell Block 99 is damn legit.
