Dragged Across Kino

Why was it only 2.5 hours long?

yeah honestly the whole final ten minutes or so from that point until the very last line felt very deflated.

.....anchovies

Is that how he met his demise? It wasn't very clear. The gun got knocked away. I assumed he was stabbed.

great kino
but I wonder about that hostage that shoot Vince...why she just look for shelter once out of range ???

The bad guys told her they would send someone to kill her family if she didn't obey.

Texted a pic of her drivers license to associates.

In the van they take a photo of her license and tell her to do what they say or associates will come after her loved ones

Why would a heroin dealer get involved with a bank heist?

>has amazing cop skills and intuition the entire movie
>gets gun slapped out of hand by nigger at point blank
It was ALMOST perfect bros

and outsmarted by a traumatized bank clerk

When the niggas are driving and they realize the bugmen will probably kill them but Henry talks Black Dynamite through a panic attack

It felt a lot like a scene you might see in Twin Peaks Season 3 tbdesu

Incelism

These guys would have become a meme if they were dressed somehow more memeably instead of in generic black

She didn't exactly outsmart him, Vogelman did. They let their guard down because they didn't anticipate that ploy, so it was easy for her to get the drop on them.

The goggles are 100% memeable

Damn Thermite you recall let yourself for huh

>masked gunman casually shoots up a convenience store for no reason
>eerie apartment block protagonists never see the inside of, with only interior scene being Russian dude entering hidden room for shady reasons
>random, non-expository yet somewhat amusing scene of Vince eating a sandwich and annoying Mel
>Jennifer Carpenter character introduced out of nowhere well into the movie
>camera set-ups and lighting were also pretty Lynchian, especially in places like the black guy's apartment
Are you telling me this wasn't a lost episode of Twin Peaks: The Return?

>Kebabremover.jpg

shut up and stop making me not like the movie with your gay posts

Overdose on /pol/ and /k/ from age 12 to 25 and there you go.

ok thx i was eating to much cheetos to understand I guess...

C'mon, user, why the fuck would they let her go if not for some shady shit? It was too dumb to let their guard down, specially after she "didin't hear/respond" for so long until she got really close. Also, she knowing Vince had a vest and aiming on his armpit, even more so him being an army Vet was completely retarded.

Did it really take him 98 mins to eat a sandwich

she got the drop on vince and it was fucking ridiculous. the plotting got sloppy from there on out.

What the fuck are you two talking about? Did I miss an entire scene?

Agree with these. Fantastic movie but those last few minutes were just contrived and goofy

i don't know. did you?

Kind of retarded and bluepilled, but also kind of based and redpilled. I wouldn't go so far as to say shit like the lighting in Kittle's apartment was "Lynchian", but the stuff about the hidden room and the senseless violence of the bugmen is kind of true, plus the general pacing and structure. Mainly I just mean the whole Kelly Summer sequence could easily be dropped into an episode of The Return with no context and fit right in.
>long, excruciating, heartfelt emotional scene of Jennifer Carpenter begging to see her baby boy again
>goes to work and is treated to a bizarrely warm and convivial welcome by her friendly boss and coworkers, complete with a box of cupcakes
>bugmen show up and explode her head with an AR and she's never mentioned again

He was fucking based and redpilled

He’s Italian

why the fuck did he rob that convenience store and the randoms in the car?

anyone have the shot of the 4u sign?

The bugmen fired off rounds in their van to suggest she resisted and there was some kind of shootout, so that when she crawled out it looked like she was the sole survivor. In theory yeah, if Mel and Vince really thought about it they might have anticipated that the bugmen staged it and blackmailed her into trying to kill them by threatening her family, but it's not an immediately intuitive scenario and it still took me a minute to figure out what the fuck happened after she shot Vince, even having seen Vogelman taking a picture of her driver's license and threatening her family.

> Sadam biopic for Mel Gibson when ?

Zahler's kind of violence is a little too cruel for Lynch imo.

He was just crazy, at first I thought they needed funds for the bank heist, but Vogelmann was likely supplying everything.

it DD fudggggg ü!

>Bugmen cornered in their flipped van with the hostage waiting to be picked off by Vince's sniper rifle
>Vogelman takes a picture of the hostage bank teller's driver's license and implies he'll send it to some more bugmen to find and kill her family if she doesn't follow his orders (it's the scene where they're shoving the gun into her mouth in the van)
>Off-screen, they give her a gun and tell her to crawl across and kill the cops with it, or her family will be killed
>Fire off rounds in the van to make it sound like a shootout (We hear these shots from Mel and Vince's perspective)
>Send hostage out
>Mel and Vince let their guard down because they assume there must have been some kind of shootout/struggle in the van, unable to figure out the complicated and clever plan of the bugmen
>She gets close enough to kill Vince but Mel kills her

Beat movie of 2019 so far
Indipendant films and TV are knocking it out of the park the past 5+ years
As a huge fan of both I think zahlers take was alot more grounded and fresh.
Lynch is great but tends to get a little lost in its own thoughts

it's a 2018 movie shithead

Kind of true. Lynch will have a scene like the kid getting hit by the truck, but the violence itself is tame in that scene whereas the exploding heads are reserved for villains and non-innocents. The bank scene was like if Tom Sizemore slit Dougie Jones's throat.

It wasn't an AR

Good summary user good post to explain it for the large amount of brainlets itt

To pay for the van.

"Likewise"
BASED BASED BASED BASED

It makes sense that she would get the drop on Vince specifically, he was a badass but a little bit of a softie who likely couldn't conceive of a plan as insidious as that. He also felt guilty over letting the bank robbery go down, so his eagerness to help one of the victims overrode his vigilance.

Extremely retarded to do such a high risk/low reward thing, especially right before a big heist.
But I guess that was the hole point, to show how unhinged he was.

Is boss level going to be kino?

Was it the same guy or two different people? Grey gloves and black gloves.

based vanity fair calling zahler out for being a cuck

>The movie could have subverted simplistic political takedowns by having the guts it only pretends to have, by showing us that there are bad people—not good—on both sides. But Dragged Across Concrete is energized by a dynamic in which the bad white guys get to say, do, and represent whatever repugnant worldview they want, and everyone else, as written by Zahler, just sort of absorbs it. This is a hard-boiled crime movie, but Zahler can’t seem to imagine that the people who aren’t white shitbag cops might be shitbags in their own right—that they would give their cop boyfriends a bit more shit for beating up on Latinos (or, you know, just for being a cop), for example. Even Henry, an ex-con, had "good" reasons for landing himself in jail. To what purpose, really? At the very end, when the film seems to metastasize this problem into an ironic twist, it settles for a black character showing fairness to a white cop while having little reason to believe the cop would do the same in his position. It’s a display of selflessness, of charity, that deflates the entire movie, letting it tidy up its sophomoric provocations with an act of generosity straight out of the bushido code. Is black nobility really preferable to gangbanger archetypes in what is, top to bottom, a movie about awful people? I thought this was a crime movie.

>Why does Zahler hedge? He wants to appear bold enough to write and direct a provocative movie about racist cops—personae non gratae so far as liberal culture is concerned. Yet it's worth wondering whether he's bold enough to stage those provocations, and the conflicts they’d incite, within the movie itself. He’s bold enough to have his characters assail us with racist ideas—but God forbid anyone within the film react. He wants antiheroes to get to talk about blacks and Latinos as if they are implicitly threats to white hero cops’ well-being. But he tells on himself when he hesitates to explore whether this might really be true, whether Ridgeman and Lurasetti really ought to be covering their asses from exactly those people—which would have made this movie dangerous enough to live up to the hype. These guys have fashioned their city into a wild West where they, formerly the law, are now the outlaws. Which means: no rules. In a give-no-fucks genre such as this one, you’d rightly expect the black characters to give equally few fucks. Zahler, not his officers, is the one covering his ass in the end.

this was absolute kino

I don't think it's unrealistic for a guy to knock Mel's gun out of the way, the pull out his and shoot Mel. I'm no operator, but it seems plausible.

I would have taken out the gun when they were outside the car and maintain distance so Slim had no chance to do anything like that. But I'm not a cop and Mel was, so maybe his strategy was better.

I was thinking as she was crawling that they should've just shot her. Her approach was ominous, but they're cops so they wanted to help civilians.

>high risk
if a nigga shoots up a 7-11 in the hood, who gives a fuck?

Thank you, S. Craig. Loved your movie!

Why did the hostage shot Vince?

Millions of $ worth of operational funding.

There was a camera...

frame the nigs after the job

well yeah, its a movie

Vaughn eating that sandwich for a full minute had me rollin. How does he make eating so entertaining? Also, rewatched it to it to confirm, and yes this is objectively a great film, probably will be my favorite of 2019.

Any scene of the masked robber, that guy was fucking terrifying. Probably one of the most tense films I've seen in a good while. Does anyone know the actor's name? He would play an amazing Bullseye.

Can i pirate this yet?

obviously why do you think there's so many threads?

LOOKS LIKE KINO IS BACK ON THE MENU BOIS. DADDYS GOT SOMETHING TO WATCH

The film managed to be really tense at some points, but I can't help but think it shit the bed pretty badly towards the end. It completely undermines everything it was setting up with the ending.

We are here

Ending with the ocean mansion and the wife and kid getting bullion was kinda weak

recommended my gf watch it, she hated it, didnt get any of the comedy, thought it was too drawn out and though most of it was pointless.

women are insufferable

So does this director just make shit movies on purpose and you guys pretend to like them as a joke?

It had good moments but overall it was very underwhelming.

it just came out filmfestfaggot

It was the most kino part. It was only stupid when he got the big ass mansion and ended with the shitty 3d animation game.

SHOTGUN SAFARI

WDHMBT?

LMAO

WHEN THAT CRAZY INCEL SHOT UP THE POTATO CHIPS

SPINOFF WHERE HE JUST GOES AROUND SHOOTING RANDOM SHIT WHEN

True. You just found a plot hole, she just had to join Mel and Vince and everything would be sweet

its very good until the end.

and the end fuck things up.

not just because the nigger wins, but because his victory happens dumbing down mel and vince characters.

you develop these two guys for two hours, one is an old fart street smart cop, the other is an army veteran and when they met the criminals, at the third act, all they do is the kind of dumb shit that not even a kid who plays GTA would do.

there is no excuse for how stupid the third act is, for how the decision making process of these two partners becomes idiotic.

the foreshadowing of that was the sniper rifle.

what kind of idiot takes a sniper rifle for a job with two people only, one of them being old? it was a robbery, take something for medium/close range, not a fucking sniper rifle.

its just too stupid.

there is a lot of great, memorable stuff going on trough two hours and even when stuff gets dumb, but the conclusion of what the director build is an annoying cliché.

i would respect the movie a little more if, at least, the guy didnt get shit for mels family, no joke. at least would close a circle of terrible shitty people.

>White shitbag cops
>But the black and Latino guys didn't do anything morally repugnant
The one Latino guy we see dealt drugs to middle schoolers and the two black guys assist mass murder to make some money. The fuck are you talking about?

I was 100% expecting both guys to shoot each other and the van to go down into the river, glad it didn't go down this way.

Also is everyone here a speedwatcher or what? Missing blatantly obvious points like Slim having an extra gun on his getaway vehicle like he said before the heist.

two latinos with guns and dope and niggers being at a bank robbery who end up with at least 5 dead people - and who planned to rob the euro fags - who are batshit crazy and violent.

but i agree with the critic point: at the end, after promissing a corrupted fucked up story, he ends his movie in a very gay tone, with the golden heart nigger and shit.

everyone should die, at least. and the third act should have people taking logical decisions instead of becoming absolute idiots.

Attached: 1527042613006.jpg (480x480, 26K)

I didn't catch if that guy died when he crawled out of the van or later when Mel threw the gas grenade in and one of them popped up.

Yes. Do you think people are memeing when they say they speed watch movies? I really liked it and at this point, I wasn't expecting Mel or Vince to survive because it's a Zhaler movie anyway.

>The soundtrack
>Ending credits with scenes from the movie, the actors name and their respective characters while Jungle Safari is playing
Loved this

did anyone else think he was basically /pol/ / /r9k/ if they were articulate and not cowardly?

yes it was an Assault Rifle

Imdb bro.

I'm 90% sure it was Matthew MacCaull. Hes listed as grey gloved robber. Theres another one listed as black gloved robber.

I legit couldn't tell them apart. Did only one of them speak?

This. I thought for sure they were going to take her hostage, but my expectations were subverted. . . and that's a good thing!

Improper grammar.
It's "we are here" or "we're here" not "we here".

WE BE ARRIVED

Why did this movie get criticized for being racist? Because of that one plausible scene where Mel's daughter is being harassed?
The black guy ultimately wins, and is portrayed as a stand-up guy at the end.

I thought it was good albiet a bit cheesy with the happy ending there for the black man.
I didnt feel like shit at the end though so I mean thats either a plus or a minus.

All I can say is I enjoy the ride, and I guess thats all you can ask for, bad ending or not.
I got at least 1 hour of enjoyment from the movie.

>refridgerator
>dead rat
what did they mean by this?

I thought the masked guy was pretty comical.
I'm pretty sure it was intended that way too with how he shoots everything in the convience store.

Its kind of funny how much he resembles the NZ shooter in his video

You can say that again...

When Slim tows the car with Ridgeman in it, the camera looking through the rear view mirror... that really kept me tensed up wondering where its gonna go.

All the scenes in the cars were great actually.
