Local film curation group Film Geeks San Diego returns for its next screening in their Bonkers Ass Cinema series with a presentation of Craig S. Zahler's "Brawl in Cell Block 99." This one time screening will be kicked off with a special pre-recorded introduction with Zahler as he welcomes first-time and returning viewers of his 2017 genre feature. Tickets are on sale now for this special event with all proceeds benefitting future film curation in San Diego County.

Setback after setback sees Bradley whisked off to prison, where he must simultaneously match wits (and fists!) with bloodthirsty drug dealers and the maniacal Warden Tuggs, played by Miami Vice’s Don Johnson. Runtime: 132 Minutes.
