In 2'compliment the MSB indicates the sign if 1 then +ive if 0 then -ive. So the range will be from +128(11111111) to -127(0111111).

Here in 8 bit, 2's complement MSB is used for sign so remaining 7 bits are used.
So, that the range from 01111111(+127) to 111111111(-128) because the value 00000000 is considered as positive value.
