Just watched this and don't understand the point of it. This is just meaningless ugliness and sadism

Just watched this and don't understand the point of it. This is just meaningless ugliness and sadism.

>meaningless
So the Mafia kidnapping his wife and him having to practically descend into the depths of hell to save her is meaningless?

Don't bother, its shit

yes because we dont know anything about him therefore we dont care about him and most importantly the emotions he experiences are never properly shown and neither is this relationship with his wife(because shes also badly written)
Its just boring, by the books characterization of the main guys closest family

it's garbage and I'm fairly sure the director uses paid shills to generate hype for his completely shit movies

nu-male faggots that need "meaning" in life and cant stand its brutality

Low test af

thats some real autism, thinking shit like that.
>go advertise my movie on a taiwanese wirgin forum so the go torrent it

>Sup Forums is so fucking stupid it can't realize Sam Peckinpah inspired Kino when it stares at them right in the face.

how is Shot caller rated?

This tbqh.
>B-b-but what about muh life lessons?

I liked the monologue about the milk in the gas station. It felt like an homage to his True Detective character. Apart from that it was dogshit B-movie garbage.

>This is just meaningless ugliness and sadism.
sound like a permavirgin to me

there hasn't been a movie this realistic and raw since, possibly Above the Law

it was great, it's exploitation film and the righteous force of nature character taken to a subdued extreme in a style that gets more hellish, "off" and absurd as the movie goes on, ending in a cascade of highly uncomfortable violence, the fakeness purposful to attack our expectations and disorient the viewer, a fitting payoff for the 2 hour build up

I liked it, but I like almost every prison film.

2% BRO
TIME FOR A COOKIE, RIGHT BABE?

Vince Vaughn doing Bruce Lee shit. What a total peice of shit movie.

4/10 - generous

>REAL MEN get off to watching faces being ripped off and heads being stomped in
>only pussies are bothered by pornographic violence
you people are mentally ill

He's an American Christian male that wants to do whats best for his family but doesn't always make the right decisions. The wife is a secondary character and mainly just a way to advance the plot so she doesn't need to be in it any more than she is. Everything you need to know about his character is shown in the beginning half of the movie and through exposition. It's about a man thrust into a dire situation against his will (albeit due to his own hubris) and doing whatever it takes to save his wife and unborn child. It's pretty much the standard "save the princess" archetype but with an ultra violent prison backdrop. How else do you want them to hold your hand?

Save for like two scenes it wasn't even that graphic. Any random horror film is going to have more brutal violence.

Why did he beat this guy so badly? There was no need.

Just punching him around a little would be enough. Why did he maim him for life?

It's Master and Commander all over again.

Films Nu-Males can't understand.

>Cartel has creepy Asian man about to abort 7-9 month fetus
>A sick joy is felt when Vince gets revenge
Hur mental illness, I know who is mentally ill if you DIDN'T feel joy watching these things happen to these sub humans. Do you really not feel the male desire to protect your loved ones and family? are you an actually faggot?

>arm snap scene
>when he snaps that Mexican's spine
>the kung fu guy gets his face stomped in
>he crushes that guy's jaw
>leg breaker
>beheading the mafia boss

Plus, the whole abortionist thing. It wasn't graphic, but the context was pretty brutal.

He needed to be sent to Redleaf ASAP. A simple assault might have just landed him in the hole for a couple of months (which would have most assuredly resulted in his baby getting dismembered)

Then he would just attack the other guards that came to rescue him. Which he did anyway.

>slides your face off
How in the fuck did he do that? It's like his face was made of lunch meat it tore so easily.
Still cool tho.

great movie

It was a little more fucked up than that, the surgeon was going to remove 2 limbs from the fetus where it would still survive to be born. Also I'm really happy that Bradly's friend/boss and wife shot those motherfuckers at the end

>get fired
>So it is.
>wife cheats
>Let's start over.
>go to jail
>I did the crime, now I'll do the time.

Was this dude the ultimate cuck?

yo this is the worst movie i've ever seen

>American
cause nothing says i love my country more than owning two flags even though i break its laws on a daily basis
>Christian
working for a guy that sells dangerous opiates, murdering people and putting your pregnant wife in danger by associating with criminals are the pinnacles of christian values
>wants to do whats best for his family but doesn't always make the right decisions
well i agree with you there
like when at the docks, he had an opportunity to make a clean getaway without involving himself in a situation where its very possible that he could get arrested, but instead he did because this movie is called Brawl in Cell Block 99 and a "Brawl in Cell Block 99" has to happen
>The wife is a secondary character and mainly just a way to advance the plot
thats precisely why she needed to be flesehd out more
so that the violence which she is the main trigger for has some weight to it, rather than being just hollow sadism
>Everything you need to know about his character is shown in the beginning half of the movie
except for the fact that he used to be a boxer, which is clumsily introduced in the first prison he's in, so the latter ridicilolusly ott violence scenes where he beats the living shit out of trained police officers at "The Fridge" and Abu Ghraib 2.0 with ease dont seem like they came out of nowhere
> It's about a man thrust into a dire situation against his will (albeit due to his own hubris) and doing whatever it takes to save his wife and unborn child.
thats probably the biggest problem with this film
in terms of morality, it positions its main character on the right side of every situation, even though he makes bad decisions that have dire consequences on others and also himself
and i get that the director wanted him to be the anti-hero, but he directs him like a hero, making this film very unengaging and uninteresting
and even as a genre film it fails due to the alredy mentioned, stupid, cartoony, empty violence

he's a completely selfless human being who just wanted to make sure the person he loves and his unborn child would live a comfortable life, at the cost of his own. he descended into hell without a seconds hesitation, and didn't burden anybody else with his emotions (he was clearly bottling it all up, as a few times he nearly broke down). it's an amazing film in all honesty, but i can see why people wouldn't like it.

plot twist offscreen: wife cheated him with his employer (Gil?)

>except for the fact that he used to be a boxer, which is clumsily introduced in the first prison he's in
Yeah I read a little bit of the synopsis of the movie before I watched it and expected it to come up sooner, it was kind of lazy, and for fucks sake, I actually liked Vince in this movie but his stance and the way he holds his hands is not like a boxer at all which made the fight scenes a little off but at least there was choreography and not just jump cuts or some other similar cop out

Is it a comedy?

>>REAL MEN get off to watching faces being ripped off and heads being stomped in
>>only pussies are bothered by pornographic violence
Exactly. The only mentally ill here is your pathetic, sissy faggot ass.

That's basically the synopsis of every single Steven Seagal movie ever.

you're a birdbrained simp. fuck off. either watch it or stop giving opinions on shit you haven't seen.

kek

>mentioning Sam Peckinpah in the same sentence as this shit

kys

Their interaction at the end was sorta weird. I really don't think that was their intention, but it certainly came off that way.

stay in your cell, /asp/. last warning

Shot caller was shit compared to Brawl. Can't believe I got tricked into watching it.

shot caller is great too. both are worth your time.

>im a real manly man because i use buzzwords on Sup Forums!

you kids are so easy to spot. let me guess, fatherless teen struggling to find his sense of masculinity so he clings to these ridiculous memes he finds on Sup Forums?

If you watch it in CONTEXT you will BTFO any of these Sup Forums trolls that talk shit about the greatest movie this decade

Just because the movie didn't go through long expositions or flashbacks doesn't mean we don't know anything about him. We know prior to the events of the movie that he:

>was a boxer
>hurt someone
>was a heavy drinker
>wife had a miscarriage that strained their marraige
>religious and patriotic
>has a criminal boss uncle

Frankly, it added to the realism that they never sat there spelling shit out for the viewers.

>Its just boring, by the books characterization of the main guys closest family

Christ, the last thread had people complaining that they over characterized non-essential characters. They put a lot of time in with the first prison, the black guard and his boxing program, the two bantering guards, the counselor he was supposed to get in good with, etc.

>yo this is the worst movie i've ever seen
LOOK AT THIS DUMMY

>wah i dont understand violence is so gruesome ewww

damn you look like my mom saying this

one of the worst films ive seen recently.
ugly. depressing. pointless. no music, no atmosphere at all.
it has one note that it plays over and over again. no character development or tension. each performance is also one note, no one has any range. everyone is depressed and talks in sad monotones.
stupid cartoon gore. badly choreographed and awkward fights. they are not realistic or gritty. people keep pausing and waiting for their queue to do what was done in rehearsal etc. its lame as fuck
richard roeper gave it 3.5 out of 4
>piece of fucking shit

>movie about white guy who kills a bunch of Mexicans who are portrayed as objectively evil
>Sup Forums trolls that talk shit

Choose one.

he didn't say he was a boxer before, he just said he did some boxing as a youngster but didn't like it.

he said he did boxing when he was younger, and the guy asked if he ever got his shit kicked in, and he said no.

a man has to journey into the underworld to save his beloved and brainlets STILL don't get the connection to classical Western mythology

exactly, but not that he was a boxer for any extensive period of time, or as a profession. for all we know he did a year of boxing then called it a day. the overall gist of his dialogue with the guard was that he didn't believe in violence without a purpose.

the gist of the dialogue is he's an absolute hard cunt. he literally destroyed a car with his bare hands. please leave, ya birdbrained pinhead.

So how many Michael Shannon movies did Vince watch to prepare for this role? All of them?

>clearly one dude defending the movie while the rest of the thread shits on it
These are always fun kek

a car is not a person. he fucked it up to save his marriage.

Are you legitimately retarded?

This

yeah nice argument, kid.

>he beats the living shit out of trained police officers at "The Fridge" and Abu Ghraib 2.0 with ease dont seem like they came out of nowhere
Also, Vince Vaughn is fucking huge. Movies he does never play up or even acknowledge that fact, but the man is big. He's as tall as Dolph Lundgren or the Rock. Getting punched in the skull by a 6'5 giant is going to be a lot more effective than by a 5'6 manlet. That's why boxing is broken into weight divisions. Mayweather might have excellent skills, but he's not fighting anyone Vaughn's size because he'd be murdered.

Overrated

Vinces character was a stupid faggot. He wasted all of his extra money on luxury vehicles and a mcmansion (with terrible decor by the way, he has no taste). Dude clearly had enough money to live comfortably but didn't know to quit while he was ahead, and then he chooses to throw away his life to save some police who don't give a shit about him.

>why would a patriotic and ethical man save good honest cops from murderous mexican gangsters?
>as a shitskin criminal myself, this didn't ring true
Maybe go watch a Tyler Perry movie then you fucking jigaboo.

Did you guys know vince vaughn has a weird thumb?

>ILL DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT MY FAMILY
>EXCEPT WALK AWAY FROM A SHOOTING I DIDN'T START

wowza

this is the stupidest shit i have ever read
are you 14?
size/weight determine punching power...
alllllrighty then, go back to watching your action movies matey

>These are always fun kek
this movie is the best
i can't help you be intelligent enough to appreciate REAL COMBAT
sorry it isn't cut up into 1000 edits.
this is REAL, RAW VAUGHN

Thats kind of the whole point. He's a huge meathead that thinks with his fists

Fuck off you retarded anime faggot.
>weight and size don't matter
>idk why all boxing, wrestling, mma and every other kind of combative sport is split by weight classes
>the guy with the best kung fu would win :3

The movie had actors sign a liability waiver because the insurance rider would not cover 7'5" VINCE VAUGHN's raw punching power.

they had to slow down the fight scenes otherwise VAUGHN's pure physics would have killed someone. its science, guys

This is the body of a human tank.
Whoa...

telemovie quality
absolute shit

the only thing worse than the movie, is listening to cunts in this thread who have never been in a fight or done any boxing or martial arts talk about how 'real' it was

he could have walked away and been free. he threw away his life for a couple of piece of shit cops.

The reason he'd do anything to protect his family is the exact same reason he'd put himself in danger to help innocent cops being shot at by Mexican criminals. Again, to a white person integrity doesn't need to be explained. But to you shitskins, the fact that someone would endanger themselves to protect someone not only that they're not related to, but that they don't even know is the sort of concept your shitty genes will never allow you to understand.

God awful flick.
"It's a tribute to grindhouse/70s movies!!" Yeah I'm sure if you tell that to the director he won't be insulted.
It's not. It's pure shit.
Terrible fighting. Shit choreography. If you think "go back to capeshit, this is realism" you've never been in a fight and are autistic.
Vince moves fucking slow. Fights like he's inexperienced fighter shadowboxing the way he thinks people actually fight.
He stomps someone's head with slippers. Slippers. Fucking stupid. And gaurds with guns near inmates. What a joke.
This entire flick is straight to VOD trash.
Only faggots and retards defend this. FACT.

so an untrained fighter who is tall will beat anyone smaller than him no matter the experience?
>absolute retard

yep, 100% this

Thats literally the entire point of the film.

He was pretty convincing as a brawler


Not sure why him kicking manlet ass is hard to believe

Vince was genuinely intimidating in this movie.

The guy was a degenerate drug dealer.

shut up, you rogan faggot
VINCE VAUGHN will make you eat his shoe if you said some shit like that to his face. Thats why you sit on this anonymous board and talk shit...because you're not man enough to handle this IROC Z driving machine. This guy shaved his head for this role. what did you do? wack your pud?

well he's not entirely wrong. height gives your arms more reach, meaning you can throw punches over a larger distance to generate more momentum that translates into added force. on top of that body weight adds mass and as such additional force to strikes. the real reason we have weight classes is for the sake of even competition (otherwise you get 6ft+ guys weighing 250lbs fighting 100lbs manlets). a pro boxer would still kick your average untrained fighter's ass even with the weight and height handicap.

>the ip count isn't going up, even though some retards are making unique bad reviews of the film, whilst the people defending it are only replying to them and not making up great fake reviews

lmfao

...except he was trained, you absolute fucking faggot. Goddamn it's excruciating talking to retards.

>oh, just because he's a trained boxer he can beat people up so easily?
>>he's also much bigger than everyone he fought
>oh, so it's size? him being totally untrained doesn't even matter?
>>we already established that he's a trained boxer, remember?
>yeah so what? how come he wins fights so easily
>>because of his size, remember?
>oh, an untrained boxer is dangerous if he's big, huh?

Post your location you autistic troll. This shit is steven seagal tier. Also a fucking nigger eats a shoe. He puts a shoe in his mouth and holds it there himself. His own arms.

also

>he destroys a car with his bare hands
>says he's undefeated in boxing

BUT A CAR IS EASY TO DESTROY WITH YOUR HANDS, AND WE DON'T KNOW THE KILL LEVEL OF THE GUYS HE'S FIGHTING

absolutely autistic

>Post your location you autistic troll
i will fucking fight you anywhere any time. i'm serious. i watched this movie 5 times and I've studied the moves to pop your fucking head off and mop the floor with your face juice
sorry you've only played with nerf guns in school, meanwhile VINCE VAUGHN was getting raw in the streets and making a name for himself. He doesn't use stunt doubles, this animal destroyed an entire vehicle with his bare hands.
your tiny brain can't even comprhend such power, because its not reddit

post a video of you destroying a car with your hands

oh, the guy who i agree with appears to be autistic too. fuck sake

Different poster.

It's kino

This. This movie is fucking trash-tier.

You guys seem upset over a movie you could easily ignore.

It was good. Bone Tomahawk was better tho.

sure is reddit in here

Entertainment. Straightforward dumb as nails plot that's carried by fun violence, Vince Vaughan and cool direction.

I wanted to watch a white man physically demolish a black man.

Are you genuinely retarded?

Yeah, punching is physics. The grounding force, torque, muscles generating the force, and reach are all greater on a larger man swinging a fist. It's why there's more knockouts the heavier the divisions go. You can literally reduce it to whether you'd rather be hit by a 10lb bag of bricks on a rope or a 50lb bag of bricks on a longer rope.
