Dragged Across Concrete
Two policemen, one an old-timer, the other his volatile younger partner, find themselves suspended when a video of their strong-arm tactics becomes the media's cause du jour. Low on cash and with no other options, these two embittered soldiers descend into the criminal underworld to gain their just due, but instead find far more than they wanted awaiting them in the shadows.

54 of 54 · most liked firstOne reason I have trouble viewing Dragged Across Concrete as a right wing film is because the writer director is clearly presenting to two cops as deeply unlikable. Whatever the personal politics of s Craig zahler, the portrayal of the cops is exactly what it would be if a Marxist had written it…
unlabelledView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Year 2, Day #12 "Dragged Across Concrete" (S. Craig Zahler/2018) Zahler's alleged politics aside, man can the dude write and direct belter after belter. An excellent crime/thriller, seriously, check this one out!
unlabelledView post →After watching this, I need to bathe in some reactionary art, just to cleanse my mind Dragged Across Concrete, for starters. Maybe the first Kingsman movie. Maybe after that, and then reading some Prager U YouTube video descriptions, then my mind will find balance again youtu.be/Dm2k9nS3o20?...
unlabelledView post →I watched Dragged Across Concrete last night. It's very funny that people complained about that movie being right wing just because it has mel gibson in it when his entire character is predicated on how he keeps ruining his life because he refuses to stop being racist. Very effective satire.
unlabelledView post →The scene in DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE where they sit around a table and complain about political correctness. I think the movie is more conflicted about its politics than its reputation suggests (and is otherwise a great crime thriller), but that scene sticks out like a sore thumb.
unlabelledView post →Rewatched DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE last night, had forgotten this qualifies as a #Snipetember film 😅 what a mean little movie, I love the methodical pacing of it.
unlabelledView post →My favorite thing about Netflix is its bizarre ability to take a show or movie that's 18 years old and no one cares about and suddenly turn it into a media event. I remember one week Dragged Across Concrete was the most popular movie on the service and it was amazing.
unlabelledView post →It's very rare that I watch the same movie twice in one year, but Dragged Across Concrete is different. This might be the best crime film since Heat. It's a slow burn but it's worth it. No one writes and directs like S. Craig Zahler. He doesn't miss.
unlabelledView post →They aren't leaving a bunch of zeroes off this, a movie budgeted at $4,000,000 only brought back $64,453-79,208 depending on the source. Dragged Across Concrete was $13,000,000 loss on a $15,000,000 budget. You don't really see directors get a chance to flop this badly multiple times.
unlabelledView post →I do have to say that Dragged Across Concrete might be the coolest movie title ever
unlabelledView post →It took me a long time to learn this, although I still occasionally stick with movies or books in the hope that they will improve. The last time I did this was with Dragged Across Concrete, which was slow and boring, but was recommended to me as a batshit movie.
unlabelledView post →I have mentioned we might feature Mel on Cult Shelf whenever we get around to DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE. Of course, that movie is insanely long, so that might take a while. #FlicksForAll
unlabelledView post →Vaughn and Carpenter also appeared in the director’s next movie, DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE. Maybe be a long time before we get to that because it is…looooooooooong. #CultShelf
unlabelledView post →S. Craig Zahler. Dragged Across Concrete is politically pathetic but a brilliant crime film.
unlabelledView post →#NowWatching Dragged Across Concrete on Peacock. This is a great movie. Check it out. #filmsky #moviesky
unlabelledView post →Sometimes I think about the Film Twitter hand wringing over Cinestate and DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE (2018) and feel second hand embarrassment.
unlabelledView post →s craig zahler ' s explicitly and playfully fascist pulp epic Dragged Across Concrete is the better movie than anything nominated for the 2019 academy awards
unlabelledView post →This is a great listen. I appreciate the thoughtful unpacking of the movie’s racial dynamics. The comparison to Dragged Across Concrete, another thorny (but I think pretty conflicted, compared to Zahler’s other work) movie, is a good one.
unlabelledView post →Kinski gets a pass because he was certifiable. But if you could somehow hold the production together without him threatening to murder the cast or crew you generally got something special. The only Gibson film I avoided was PTC. His last good performance was Dragged Across Concrete (underrated)
unlabelledView post →"Dragged Across Concrete" is such a perfect movie title, especially for the type of movie it is (which unfortunately is a type of movie I have no interest in seeing. but damn, that title)
unlabelledView post →Dragged Across Concrete (2018) is one of those movies where it's like very offensive and gives a lot of room for right-wing talking points, but I never really got people who thought the movie was entirely endorsing its characters.
unlabelledView post →I've been threatening my partner with a viewing of Dragged Across Concrete for like a year now. God I love that horrible film.
unlabelledView post →I don't mind being upset by a movie or not thinkin the director is a good person but I think also I have to like the movie to excuse those things and Dragged Across Concrete was sort of just boring to me on top of feeling DEEPLY evil
unlabelledView post →Only recent movie of his I have watched are "Brawl in cell block 99" and "Dragged across concrete", both which were disappointing and boring. Especially Dragged Across Concrete. God, that movie truly dragged.
unlabelledView post →Dragged Across Concrete was one of the strangest film watching experiences I’ve ever had. It’s like everyone acting in it was doing so at gunpoint.
unlabelledView post →Oh God yes, that’s a great film. Gere is a shocker in that. I saw an odd film recently - Dragged Across Concrete. It’s horrible and quite odd, Mel Gibson and a very oddly cast Vince Vaughn.
unlabelledView post →A friend made me watch Dragged Across Concrete and I wondered if Zahler was pulling some con on the right, because that movie seems to have the same contempt for right wing cops that the viewer has, but man, yeah I guess Zahler is just a shitbag
unlabelledView post →Dragged Across Concrete is fucking awesome. I'm excited for his next movie with Vince Vaughn and Adrien Brody, The Bookie & The Bruiser xx
unlabelledView post →Dragged Across Concrete 2018 Spotty dialogue and a few other unhappy quirks took me out of this gritty heist flick a bit too often, but there are some great choices here too. #filmsky #movies #film #cinema
unlabelledView post →Another Zahler film that feels like a slow descent into hell. Vile, exasperating, cruel, and extremely mean-spirited. My ★★★½ review of Dragged Across Concrete on Letterboxd boxd.it/8GMt95
unlabelledView post →Dragged Across Concrete (2018) This is before the wake of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, and we are beginning to see a pattern just how bleak the movies were, "superhero burnout" in full swing when in reality, an oversaturation of action thrillers (heists) and horror slashers WERE the problem.

unlabelledView post →PSA: Jersey Shore's JWoww wrote and directed a horror movie last year called Devon. It has a 2.6/10 on IMDb. I learned this while watching the truly bonkers Dragged Across Concrete (2018) on PlutoTV.
unlabelledView post →I guess it's just some sort of morbid curiosity why I bothered to watch #BrawlInCellBlock99 given that I did not get what's the big deal about Bone Tomahawk, and Dragged Across Concrete genuinely made me angry for having wasted so much time watching it... 📽️🎞️
unlabelledView post →Mel Gibson-isms aside, Dragged Across Concrete (2018) also was not a bad "missed the radar" film, it's pretty violent, but the ending pulled it together OK... Michael Jai White was also in it, which reduced my initial apprehension to watch it.
unlabelledView post →Boneyard, Mel Gibson movie on Netflix, avoid it, he's the only thing trying to prop it up as a low budget, slow ass movie with no resolution. Instead, check out Dragged Across Concrete, much better thriller worth a look. #netflix #movies #streaming
unlabelledView post →Seen Bone Tomahawk years ago and thought it was amazing I was slow to check out Zahler's other films. Finally did. Brawl in Cell Block 99 was as dumb as a movie can be. Watching Dragged Across Concrete now and I'm engaged thus far. D/Ling Asylum Blackout probably won't check out the Nazi puppet one.
unlabelledView post →IF I had just remembered this was written and directed by the same guy who gave us Dragged Across Concrete I would have never actually bothered watching #BoneTomahawk. 😐 And I don't say that just because both are unnecessarily long. 📽️🎞️

unlabelledView post →Dragged Across Concrete has gotta be the best movie title for a thing that I don’t want to happen to me personally
unlabelledView post →I finally watched Dragged Across Concrete, as I was led to believe from Youtube clips it was a heist movie with an edge lord shooter. Turns out no, it's a Mel Gibson featured, copaganda, "racism is okay because the blackies want to rape wyt women" movie instead. Terrible.
unlabelledView post →8. Dragged Across Concrete Movie that makes you feel terrible and like it's ripping through your guts like a knife. 10/10
unlabelledView post →Ugly, crude, morally repugnant, thoroughly enjoyable > Tom Grater: The film has quite a complicated relationship with race, there are moments in it that make the viewer feel uncomfortable. Can you talk about that approach? > S. Craig Zahler: I don't try to put out a socio-political message. I've publicly railed against 'message' movies, I think they're didactic. For me, it's about a bunch of people from different walks of lives who get pushed into certain corners. We have had plenty of films…
positive · AI labelView post →With its moral ambiguity and explicit violence, ‘Dragged Across Concrete’ is ugly, bleak, brutal and vile in the best ways possible. The film’s true target audience, though, is patient connoisseurs of highbrow-lowbrow combo platters who are eager to watch a cast of bad men navigate a slow-motion descent into hell. Understandably, it’s not everybody’s cup of tea, but if you’re already a fan of S. Craig Zahler’s oeuvre, elaborate dialogue and exploding heads, you’re in for a treat. - Jake Watt…
