[NOTE: This is a repost of our review from TIFF;Brawl in Cell Block 99will be released in limited theaters on October 6 and VOD October 13] For a large chunk ofVince Vaughn’s career, I was critical of the actor for continuing to play the same character.

It’s the sound of overbearing desperation. “Let us show you where all the really, really funny jokes are, rather than trusting your own sense of humor.” That’s what I hear every time without exception. It’s made it almost impossible to survive reruns ofMarried … with Children. Most modern sitcoms have the good grace to forego the practice full stop, but one perennial exception to that is the arsenal of pervert-dad shows developed and envisioned byChuck Lorre....

Either passed over for — or uninterested in — the DC and Marvel money collected by his peers, the man is a dialogue ace and an efficient, effective establisher of character, but is rarely cited as such.
