I read the reviews, the constant applause and praise for this film. How good the fights were and the great acting. WHAT?! What film has everyone watched because what I see was a B movie (at best) with terrible acting, a story line that was predictable and the fight choreography has got to be the worst I've seen. Vaughn cannot do fight scenes, he is extremely awkward and very slow, and considering the film hints he has a history of fighting I would've believed that Mr Bean was a UFC fighter more!

Fmovies: I watched this movie constantly repeating that question to myself, I can't believe i was fooled by a reviewer here that actually stated this was the best movie They'd seen all year. There are scenes that are so bad i couldn't tell if they've intentionally been put in there for comedic effect or they were intended to be serious. One such scene is when the main character Bradley (played by Vaughn) dives into a body of water only to re emerge seconds later bone dry. It was honestly like an amateur teenager had directed it and spent the entire budget on Vaughn's fee. By the end they couldn't even be bothered to use any special effects and opted to use crash test dummies. It takes more than shocking violence to make a movie, i've seen it being compared to a Tarantino flick but at least his movies have substance and great quotable dialogue. Fans of B-movies may enjoy but for me it was so bad it became comical.

Bradley can rip a car apart as well as break bones with his bare hands. He has spent time in prison and is not the kind of person you want to anger. Even so, he is sorely tested. When domestic and financial pressures force Bradley back into the drug business, he manages to keep his head down for a time. He is tough, smart, cool headed, motivated and resourceful. Unfortunately, Bradley's partners in crime do not share such qualities. Behind bars again, Bradley discovers his troubles are only just beginning. His strengths have become a liability, as there are powerful people who intend to use Bradley for their own advantage.

A bone crunching, skull crushing good time! There are not just delightful twists and turns, but delicious shifts in structure and escalations of tension. There is wonderful wit, sarcasm and humor to the taunts and trash talk. For example, one of the characters in prison laments "I wish I had a bigger cell." Bradley replies, "you may want to aim a little higher with your wishes." Vince Vaughn is brilliantly cast as Bradley. Vince does so well that I am baffled as to why he has not tried such roles before. Bradley is a compelling character too, the rare tough yet good guy with the odds stacked against him. The emotional investment in the character makes the fight scenes work. Vince can't pull off a southern accent though, and shouldn't have tried. Don Johnson makes a great private prison tyrant. One of the great qualities of the film is that it reveals the sad state of our prisons, public and especially private. These maximum security, minimum freedom for-profit torture chambers are our national shame. Seen with the midnight madness crowd at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Brawl in Cell Block 99 fmovies. I have to admit I didn't expect much of a movie with a title like Brawl in Cell Block 99. It's not the most appealing title, that's the least we can say. But it was actually a good action movie with some pretty hardcore violent scenes. Some people will find them a bit harsh to watch, but I didn't mind it at all, I even applaud it. It's gore but also funny to me. So if you read negative reviews about this movie it will come from people that can't cope with violent scenes like in this movie. The story isn't bad at all, even if it was a bit predictable. But since it is an action movie I was not expecting a difficult story. A good revenge story, nothing beats making your own justice. Vince Vaughn has the physique to play his character. His fighting scenes might be a bit slow but they fitted his character perfectly. So if you like me like hardcore revenge movies you will probably like this one as well.

Vince Vaughn does a great job of portraying a no-nonsense tough guy who doesn't mince his words in this prison drama. I was surprised how much i enjoyed this movie. His character brings to mind characters similar to what Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood and the like have played. There is a real intensity about this movie and his performance that is lacking in many action films these days. The supporting cast were good also but i thought Vince Vaughn totally carried this movie, which could have been way worse but for what he brought to it. Highly recommended for fans of old school movies of this genre.

I was pretty much blown away by "Brawl in cell block 99". I was a big fan of S.Craig Zahler who Directed the film Bone Tomahawk. This film is better in many ways. I'm hooked on his genius.

To say the film is violent is an understatement but nothing any hardcore thriller/Horror fan hasn't seen before. This film delivers the violence, however, with a purpose and is almost just given the narrative. Zahler turns the protagonist into an antihero. With superb zeal.

I am a fan of Vince Vaughn and this film is a testament to his terrific range and ability as a great American actor. In fact, I think it's his finest performance to date. In the spirit of not divulging any spoilers, I will just give potential viewers my opinion of the film as a whole.

Supporting cast of Don Johnson, Udo Kier and Jennifer Carpenter are outstanding! Direction was phenomenal as it guides the viewer through the story line with such ease, in a hard to tell plot.

Nothing is gratuitous or overdone. It's simply a great story with simple plot, done in a purposeful way. For a film with 132 mins.runtime it goes very quickly. A testament to a great movie.

I have become a huge fans of S. Craig Zahler and can't wait to see his next film.

Fans of violent Thrillera told in a relevant way with great dialog, do not miss this film!!

Once again..,Bravo Vince Vaughn for a spectacular performance! It's hard to believe, after seeing this film, he spent most of his career in comedic roles.
