BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99 (full review at The Reel Word)

S. Craig Zahler’s second movie Brawl In Cell Block 99, like his intense debut Bone Tomahawk, bypasses Australian cinemas and arrives direct-to-dvd on 31 January.

Future prison is bad news, and you better get yourself a good Future Lawyer, ‘cause here are the Top Ten...
