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.

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.

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.

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.

3/5

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.

Thought-provoking dialogue that, while often superficial, is always articulate and occasionally profound. The suspense never lets up. There’s just enough character development to make it easy to relate to the characters and recognize parallels between the two opposing relationships. Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn’s chemistry and banter alone make it worth watching. Parlay that with the enticing storyline, and you’ve got a film that’s hard to beat. Get’s better with every watch.

Unique, tough little crime film Dragged Across Concrete (2000) ***** A tough, slow-burning crime thriller, Dragged Across Concrete finds writer-director S. Craig Zahler putting his own offbeat spin on the heist genre, with richly drawn characters, stellar performances, and a constant sense that anything can happen. Zahler’s unflinching violence, taboo subject matter, and refusal to play by mainstream rules make for a uniquely gripping experience, even when the film’s political undercurrents are uncomfortable. Deliberate, brutal, and endlessly engaging, it’s essential viewing for fans of gritty, unconventional crime cinema. SEE LETTERBOXED FOR FULL REVIEW

Happy that Jennifer Carpenter was in this. Sad about the length of time to build the disjointed story. The main reason I didn’t like it was that in all the time there was in the length of this movie, it didn’t make me truly understand or feel for the characters. There was a lack of important details about their lives. There were some hints but not enough to understand them and feel anything about them, even though there was plenty of time to build those into the plot.
