Last night's movie. Another very solid effort from writer/director S. Craig Zahler, following on from his BONE TOMAHAWK (2015) and BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99 (2017). DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE doesn't have the wonderful baroqueness that permeated BONE TOMAHAWK, and it is not as over-the-top violent as RIOT IN CELL BLOCK 99, though it shares more similarities with the latter than the former (particularly in the use of many of the same cast). Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughan are superb as the two desperate cops sidelined without pay after a home video captures their strong-arm tactics. A strong, downbeat character study driven by a superb score (co-written by Jeff Herriott and Zahler). Definitely one of my favourite younger filmmakers working today.
