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

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.

The chemistry between the two leads is superb, which is uplifted even more with great dialogue and moments that would otherwise not make it into many modern films. Even though it is a slower burn than many crime thrillers, the payoff is worth it.

Another truly original and enjoyable piece of cinema from Zahler. I don't love every direction he goes in but ignore the dummies saying this is sLoW AnD BoRiNg... they just need to go watch another Marvel movie to feel good.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A really gritty slow burn… I don’t think Vaughn was the right choice, and Gibson seems relatively uninterested, but as far as the antagonists go… good lord what an unsettlingly morbid depiction of real-life violence. It’s worth a watch for that alone.
