Dragged Across Concrete

What to Know

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

2/5
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Ross McIndoe The Skinny 07/04/2024
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. Go to Full Review

Allan C @RT15713161 Jun 25 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.

Great story, great action. See more Steven F. @SteveGotScored Mar 3 A very thrilling action movie! See more Shannon V @Shannon54321 Jan 31 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.
