S. Craig Zahler's ‘Dragged Across Concrete' Is Avant-Garde Right-Wing Cinema [Review]

March 19, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

Bless writer-director S.Craig Zahler’s pulp heart for not conforming to what it supposed to be deemed acceptable in movies today. His first two movies “Bone Tomahwak” and “Brawl in Cell Block 99,” were non-conformist depictions of violence raised to the level of art. Casting conservative actors like Vince Vaughn, Mel Gibson and Kurt Russell in his films has irked people to no end; Zahler has been called every name in the book: A misogyniost, bigot, racist, sexist and, really, any terrible term deemed “alt-right” on Twitter. Sounds familiar? Quentin Tarantino had the same issues back in 1994 when his “Pulp Fiction” pushed the boundaries of distastefulness in cinema to create a landmark movie event. Zahler isn’t in the same league yet as QT, but his rebellious brand of avant-garde, right wing cinema is making a mark, whether people want to admit it or not.
