Don't go assuming that the footage of Justin Timberlake getting dragged behind a car is a metaphor. Based on what happens between the pop star and his break-up/make-up sex partner, it's clear that she's ready to make sure he goes down for the count.
PS: In a nice twist of pop legacy — I woudn't call it a coincindence since everyone involved is too smart not to realize this angle — Timberlake's co-star is Riley Keough aka Elvis Presley's granddaughter.
