The Top Five Manliest Movies Of 2017
1) Brawl In Cell Block 99/Review By The Night Rider
It looked like Shot Caller had things sewn up for the year and that nothing could possibly out-alpha that violent prison thriller. But maybe we all forgot that the director of Bone Tomahawk was making a prison movie of his own.
This type of movie only shows up once in a decade or so, shit, maybe even once a generation. A film that fires on all cylinders and never misses a note. This is, probably, the manliest prison movie ever made. It may not quite be the best, but it sure as fuck is the manliest. And that is what we are here for. I didn’t know if S. Craig Zahler could ever outdo Bone Tomahawk, or if Vince Vaughn could outdo Hacksaw Ridge. This one is better than both. Now, ‘Bradley Smith’ is probably going to become legendary, a meme and second nature avatar.
This is one of the few times I’ve ever given a movie a 10/10. I think it’s a score that is abused by too many people, but I was glad and relieved to give Brawl its rightful praise.
