What happens
Dragged Across Concrete is a 2018 neo-noir action thriller film, written and directed by S. Craig Zahler. It stars an ensemble cast that includes Mel Gibson, Vince Vaughn, Tory Kittles, Michael Jai White, Jennifer Carpenter, Laurie Holden, Fred Melamed, Thomas Kretschmann, and Don Johnson. The story follows two childhood friends and two police detectives suspended for police brutality who, in a desperate need for money, are embroiled in a robbery done by a professional thief. Zahler started working on Dragged Across Concrete right after he finished development of his previous film Brawl in Cell Block 99, which also starred Vaughn, Carpenter and Johnson. Vaughn recommended Zahler to Gibson, whom he had previously worked with in Hacksaw Ridge, and Gibson agreed to star in the film, later followed by Kittles and White. Filming took place in Vancouver between July and September 2017 under a production budget of $15 million. Dragged Across Concrete premiered at the 75th Venice International Film Festival on September 3, 2018, and received a limited theatrical and video-on-demand simultaneous release from Summit Entertainment on March 22, 2019. It was met with a mixed-to-positive critical reception, with praise directed toward Gibson's performance as well as its dark setting and themes, although it was criticized for its runtime and excessive violence. The film received several nominations at the 45th Saturn Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
