Post contains some plot spoilers: I can't begin to tell you what it actually is that writer/director S. Craig Zahler believes in politically. According to the interviews he's done to promote his newest movie, Dragged Across Concrete, he doesn't care what people think of his movies. He's making movies about bad people and he wants to depict them in their entirety without putting a message behind it. That's a brave notion in the current year.
