Review of Dragged Across Concrete (2019) by Noteneedpotion — 30 Nov 2020

This Craig Zahler flick combines grindhouse and noir with good angles, colours and lighting. It manages to hold on to a classic feeling while still feeling fresh. It´s brutal yet it doesn´t stick around nor glorify its violence.

How death comes is less important than loss of life itself. It also brings up the topic of image and social politics versus result and actions. It´s long but never felt long to me since the suspense held me on to the seat with minimal music that only plays in times of calm.
