Brawl in Cell Block 99

Bloody awful. Started off interesting to see VV in a serious dramatic role, could have gone somewhere interesting, but became increasingly unrealistic with cardboard cutout characters, and just got more and more ridiculous. Want to see Vince Vaughan as the best fighter in the world ever clunkily beat up everyone and never meet his match, even several on one? Want to see a prison wing deep underground with sawdust and broken glass floors and remote control superslendertone belts with the baddest of the bad prisoners, yet you get to wear your chains conveniently loosely in your large private cell with viewing windows for friendly chit-chat with the nonce next door? How about some increasingly awful prosthetics as he peels faces off the baddie whilst the baddie boss and two remaining henchmen stand by? Every exhausted cliche. No clever ending. Vince Vaughan is a capable actor, so why he took this terrible script in this low budget hack-up is bizarre, I can only assume they have his wife hostage somewhere as per his character in the film (not really a spoiler TBH, the whole movie is signposted so obviously). 92% on RT is 82% too many. No wonder I'd never heard of this film.

I have to say I watched it all the way through just . it's not VV best. was waiting for it to get better but it didn't. glad I only rented it .the end was laughable . how that was film of the year I don't know seen better .

Starts slow then gathers pace for a cool ending. surprising movie in that I was expecting it to be complete rubbish though turns out to be one of the better movies I've seen recently. Some pretty gory fight scenes, simple but effective plot. Nice little character-rich cameos by the supporting cast, good screen play. No cliches or unnecessary special effects. Good watch.
