All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

Brawl In Cell Block 99 (2017)

Starring: Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Carpenter, Don Johnson, Marc Blucas, Udo Kier
Director: S. Craig Zahler

Premise:
A man gets sent to prison after a drug exchange gone wrong. He leaves behind his pregnant wife and boss/friend who is covering for. While in prison, he gets set up by the drug boss on the other side of the bad deal and must murder another inmate or his kidnapped wife gets an experimental abortion.

My Take:
The movie takes the viewer down a long, winding road of a man who trying to save his wife and unborn child despite the bad decisions he has to make. Plus there is straight up, unflinching violence and gore.

Rating: So Good
