This week we discuss the filmography of genre director S. Craig Zahler and delve into all 3 of his films in chronological order. The first is Bone Tomahawk (2015), a gritty, ultraviolent western where a group of cowboys and lawmen face off against a bloody-thirsty tribe of cave-dwelling mutants. The second is Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017), an even grittier and more ultraviolent tale of a man who fights his way through 2 prisons worth of guards and thugs. The third is Dragged Across Concrete (2018), a buddy cop heist film with the slow pacing of a novel. Grittiness and ultraviolence also feature.   Timestamps Bone Tomahawk (00:11:05) Brawl in Cell Block 99 (00:54:30) Dragged Across Concrete (01:02:15)   Links  Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links https://www.justwatch.com   Scroobius Pip / S.
