Brawl in Cell Block 99 - 8
I’ve watched this movie twice and i remember absolutely loving it on the first watch. I was shocked by some of the violence and his temper when he loses it. I loved how he didn’t want to join the prison boxing program due to him knowing that hitting people for no reason isn’t a smart decision for him. The second watch wasn’t as good but it still had me very engaged.
Dragged Across Concrete - 8.5
I watched this movie once , I watched it the next night after re-watching Brawl in 99. I really enjoyed the dialogue between the cops and the vicious bank robbers. I ending bothered me with Mel’s decisions but I loved the overall story.
Bone Tomahawk - 7.5
I’ve watched it twice. It’s basically the same reaction to my Brawl in 99 movie experiences. The first watch was brutal and surprising. I couldn’t believe the violence at the end and enjoyed the performance and payoff of the movie. The second watch I was showing my family it and they were experiencing those emotions I had the first watch. It was fun to see it through there eyes.
Asylum Blackout - 4
I wanted to finish my Zahler movie list after I realized he wrote and directed the above movies. I watched Asylum twice but my first watch was years ago and I remember liking it but that’s about all. It never really stuck out in my mind and I didn’t remember it. So when I realized it was a Zahler movie I re-watched it. I didn’t like it near as much as his other movies. The dialogue and pacing and just overall vibe of the movie didn’t carry as well as his others. Which is a shame because it definitely could have been great. The story was creepy enough and left me scared of the situation they found themselves in.
I look forward to watching new stuff from him. I’m a fan !
