"16.6. Vince Vaughn näsäviisaana, mutta ennen kaikkea täysin ylivoimaisena kaljupäisenä vankilatappelijana (tai pikemminkin teloittajana) on jo ideana varsin väkevä, eikä itse elokuva ole oikeastaan hassumpi. Tymäkkää tekemistä aina hupaisasta, videopelimäisestä juonenkuljetuksesta mätkintäosuuksien asianmukaiseen kuvaamiseen. Ohjaaja Zahlerin tekemiset rupesivat nyt kiinnostamaan ihan tosissaan."

A good movie

“To be honest, I really had no idea what to expect from this flick but I kept hearing some interesting things about it and since the title sounded pretty catchy, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, it was only afterwards that I discovered that S. Craig Zahler was the same guy who had also delivered 'Bone Tomahawk' and, after only 2 directing efforts, he has already become a director to follow. However, even though I did enjoy the damned thing, there were still some stuff that bothered me though. First of all, even though I don't mind a (good) long movie, this one could have been shorter though.

An instant manly classic

“Following up a directorial debut like 2015's sleeper surprise Bone Tomahawk is a tall order, but prodigy writer-director S. Craig Zahler defies the odds (and his own relative inexperience) with seemingly little effort. Brawl in Cell Block 99 is a fucking masterpiece from top to bottom; a brutal, completely mesmerising showcase of extreme violence, hyper-masculine behaviour and dark humour, buoyed by superb direction and a remarkable, career-defining performance by Vince Vaughn. An ode to old-fashioned prison films and grindhouse cinema, Zahler's sophomore effort further demonstrates his unique filmmaking voice, with deliberate but enthralling pacing, and a screenplay that crackles with unforced wit.
