Vince Vaughn in front of a prison bus in 'Brawl in Cell Block 99'

The Big Picture It has become increasingly popular for actors best known for their comedic roles to subvert audience expectations by doing something completely different. After endearing himself to a generation of comedy fans with his role as Michael Scott in The Office, Steve Carell’s series of dramatic roles starting with Foxcatcher came as a complete shock.

Brawl in Cell Block 99 NRActionCrimeThriller A brutal and intense drama featuring Bradley Thomas, a former boxer who finds himself in a maximum-security prison after a botched drug deal. To save his kidnapped wife and unborn child, Bradley must navigate the dangerous and violent world of the prison system. As he is drawn deeper into the prison's dark underbelly, he must engage in brutal confrontations and make tough decisions to protect his family.

Vaughn’s performance inverts all of his inherent qualities, which makes the film’s moments of brutality all the more shocking. In comedy classics like Old School and Swingers, Vaughn earned a reputation for playing cheeky, fast-talking characters who have a knack for irritating everybody. However, Bradley is a character who avoids social interaction at all costs; in fact, it's his inability to connect with Lauren that has made their family life so dysfunctional.
