the insanely self-indulgent running time of two hours and 40 minutes and the tendency to undercut tension with fussy dialogue that continually draws attention to its cleverness make Zahler's third feature a lot less fun than it seems to think it is
director S. Craig Zahler's latest is just as violent -- and just as good -- as its predecessors; "Dragged Across Concrete" may be a hard movie to love, but it's a much harder one not to respect and even admire
