Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"[Vauughn] pulls a Bruce Willis here, shaving his head and substituting intimidating stillness for his trademark motormouthed hyperactivity. The transformation suits him surprisingly well." -- Grade: A- - 10/03/2017 A.V. Club
"If novelty’s your thing -- and hell, even if it isn’t -- then you should probably buy a ticket to BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99, a veritable feast of images you don’t see every day..." - 10/05/2017 Los Angeles Times
"[T]his painstakingly paced thriller displays an intensity of purpose that makes it impossible to dismiss....The movie stars a revelatory Vince Vaughn..." - 10/05/2017 New York Times
"It’s exploitation made with vicious sincerity....Vaughn’s performance echoes the down-and-dirty transformation undergone by John Travolta and Bruce Willis in PULP FICTION..." - 09/04/2017 Variety
3 stars out of 4 -- "If many male stars of a certain age are destined to become late-act action heroes, we hope this is Vaughn's TAKEN, and his particular set of skills will continue to involve dishing out such graceless, effective hurt." - 10/05/2017 Rolling Stone
"[The filmmakers] stage the fight sequences with precision and a refreshingly welcome number of medium and long shots devoid of the rapid-fire quick cuts and obvious use of stunt doubles prevalent in the vast majority of modern action films." - 10/12/2017 Chicago Sun-Times
