Slow doesn’t bother me at all, Terrence Malik is one of my favorite filmmakers, but I guess I just didn’t see what you saw in Dragged Across Concrete.
I love crime movies, but that one didn’t do anything for me. All of his movies have had a B movie feel to them, and I feel like that worked great with Bone Tomahawk since it was partly a horror film, but it doesn’t work as well with crime films.
Silence is such a good movie though, but I have no desire to ever watch it again, lol. Actually it’s similar to Malik’s most recent film. They’re both great, but because of how long and the subject matter, I don’t feel the need to watch them again.

That’s wild to me, but everyone has their own opinions. I’d rather watch any Tarantino film than DAC any day of the week.
Concrete is a pretty slow movie honestly. I feel like his movies have dipped in quality with each one he’s released.

There’s not a single Tarantino film it’s better than, even Death Proof, lol.
If anything, a lot of his writing comes off as a slight knock off version of a Tarantino film. You seem to view Zahler much better than he actually is. He’s a good filmmaker, but that’s it. The only reason he gets mentioned so much on here cause of how violent his films are.
Dragged Across Concrete isn’t even his best movie, Bone Tomahawk is.

Dragged Across Concrete was good, but the fact that you’re comparing the writing to a Tarantino film is laughable.

I haven’t read any of his books, so I can’t comment on that.
