You won't be disappointed!
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
I started watching this thinking its a straight up prison movie but its actually a whole bunch of things mixed together. Theres fighting, theres over the top violence, theres comedy and theres good old fashioned one-man-show kinda story. Vince Vaughn plays an unusual tough guy. He does a really good job at it but I cant say i loved his fighting. This is not a realistic prison movie and they made sure to emphasize it with over the top, almost comedic, scenes. A soon to be father drug dealer goes to prison and he has to hurt some people in there to save his kidnapped wife and unborn baby.
Simple plot and writing but pretty well done. Found it to be a little slow in some parts but overall worth the watch. Saw some say the fight scenes were bad but i think they're just used to over the top marvel CGI sequences, while its not perfectly choreographed its not terrible imo and is more 'real' compared to what you see in most modern movies.
It took me half the film to realize this guy was trying to speak with an Oakie, hillbilly, coal miner, blue ridge mountains, country roads accent. I don't know where he's from but Vince ain't from any of those places. Once I got the accent figured I realized this flick is just another stupid, crude, flimsy attempt at white trash prison noir...... for the redneck in all of us!
Ok it did kinda drag for a bit in the beginning. But I like how it picked up . He surprised me turning into a effective prisoner with a goal . I don't want to give anything away . But I rather liked how he protected his family. And the kills were done well . It kept my attention at the end for sure .
