Critics Consensus

As grim and grinding as its title, Dragged Across Concrete opts for slow-burning drama instead of high-speed thrills -- and has just the right cast to make it work.

Time Out

The dialogue has a nicely off-kilter feel.

Dirty, angry, and it feels like it wants to pick a fight with you.

Dragged Across Concrete feels like you're dangling on the end of a meat hook. It's painful and tense and at the same time, a little ridiculous... Even then, it's full of surprises, and riches for those who like it darker.

Rated: 4/5

The film is meant to be an endurance test, from its usage of violence and slurs, to its surprising slow burn, something you don’t often see with films of this calibre. But it doesn’t have enough focus to be riveting.

Rated: 2/5

Dragged Across Concrete does what I hope more films had the bravery to do – challenge our beliefs, and make us challenge ourselves in the process.

The Skinny

Dragged Across Concrete is an excellent action flick with leads who, when they aren’t bitching about cell phones or correcting Black people’s grammar, are an absolute blast to be around.

Rated: 3/5

Waaaaay too long. Would have easily been four stars if the had cut 45 minutes and kept it at 2 hours. They tried to make it more than it was with some of the dialog, but it didn't work. A bit too hokey. I can't really recommend it.

Should be called, "Two people talking in cars" because that's what's going on for the majority of the movie. Due to its slow build up, I was primed for something awesome to bring it all home. That never occurred but they did include some over the top gratuitous gore so if that's your thing maybe you'll enjoy. Too bad too, mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn could've been a great duo

It's a really cold and brutal crime film. It has some similarities to Heat, but I rate it higher than that film.

This was a really strange movie. It's the most leisurely paced film I've seen AND liked. Most Heist movies have a long build up- then the big reveal- then the aftermath. This one took it's time but in a way that made it enjoyable, Almost like it would be in real life= real time. Dialogue was good. Vaughn is awesome, so was mel. Story was pretty cool. A keeper and worth your time.

I really enjoyed it the first time I saw it but after rewatching a lot of the plot falls short. I decent popcorn action flick that's kind of rare to see these days.
