Solid B-Level Noir Crime FIlm, but Nothing More

Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2019

Verified Purchase

The name of S. Craig Zahler will likely elicit shrugs from the vast majority of filmgoers since none of the three movies he has written and directed have ever seen the interior of a chain theater. Instead, his films show up on the various streaming services and DVD. But those who have seen one of his movies won’t forget the name. Some will curse their bad luck and vow never to watch his work again, while most others eagerly await his next effort. His most recent movie, “Dragged Across Concrete,” isn’t as good as his others (and will doubtless divide filmgoers even more), but it’s still better than most of the junk that does make its way into theaters.

“Dragged Across Concrete” stars Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn as a pair of cops who have made a career of bending the rules (and the Constitution) as much as possible in pursuit of the bad guys. Unfortunately, their latest escapade, a chase and interrogation of a local drug dealer, happens to get captured on video by a neighbor. The resulting social media controversy lands them lengthy suspensions. With both of them feeling the financial pinch of temporary unemployment, Gibson proposes to Vaughn that they use their skills to rob the bad guys for a change. Vaughn has reservations but stands by his partner. Their first target turns out to be a sadistic criminal mastermind who stages a bloody but successful bank robbery. The crooks get away with a lot of loot, but Gibson and Vaughn trail them to a deserted warehouse area there the final nighttime confrontation takes place.

The best way to think of S. Craig Zahler is as a cross between Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth. His movies have lots of talky scenes that seemingly go nowhere but, as viewers realize, tie into the plot later on. Plus, whenever the action in a Zahler movie slows down, there’s an exceedingly brutal moment or two to jolt the audience. The audience may need a bit more jolting than usual here, since “Dragged Across Concrete” takes 159 minutes to tell a story that most directors would have told in 100. If so, they get it, especially in one scene in which the robbers have to cut open the innards of a dead man to retrieve a key that he had recently swallowed. The movie features plenty of other shootings and stabbings along the way, many of them in cold blood, as neither the cops or the robbers are too picky about killing people. Further, although “Dragged Across Concrete” doesn’t have quite as many dialogue zingers as Zahler’s earlier films do, the movie has a few good one-liners, such as when Vaughn says that robbing the crooks is a bad idea, “like lasagna in a can.”

Zahler does try to humanize the two cop characters in a rather simplistic way. Gibson’s Ridgemann hasn’t been promoted in years due to his attitude, and, as a result, his family has to live in a bad part of town where neighborhood punks regularly harass his teenaged daughter. Vaughn is caught up trying to please a high maintenance girlfriend who is never entirely comfortable with him. In a typical B-movie, this would be more than enough character development to justify their turning vigilante, but I got the sense that Zahler was aiming for something higher… a serious examination of racial and law-and-order issues. If so, “Dragged Across Concrete” falls short.

The movie may disappoint those looking for slam-bang, cops-and-robbers action. Zahler takes his time, especially during the final showdown, which takes about 45 minutes of screen time. There are also other scenes in the film that don’t advance the plot, such as a sequence with Jennifer Carpenter as a mother going back to work for the first time after giving birth and being unwilling to let her baby go. Since she works in the bank that’s about to get robbed, this sequence makes her eventual arrival much more poignant.

Although “Dragged Across Concrete” is a good movie (for those not offended by its content and violence), it’s a bit of a letdown from Zahler’s two earlier films. I attribute that to an excess of ambition on his part (the movie premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2018). The movie works well as a slow-paced noir crime drama but not as well as dramatic commentary. It also could have used another draft of the screenplay. I would rate the film at 3.5 stars, rounded up to four on the strength of some very effective individual scenes. As a Saturday night home viewing experience, it’s a good watch for genre fans but nothing more.

Dragged Across Concrete is sort of breathe of fresh air in what has become the often crowded and homogenous movie landscape: it long, slow burning, and doesn't condescend to the audience by having a clear cut moralizing plot that leaves no room for questions and reservations. In some sense it is sad that such a criteria has become increasing common in judging films worthy of distinction; however, this is still the age of Disney and Marvel so one does have to take what they get. To the point, this is a story about the caprice of Fate in the decaying American landscape, a story about flawed character pursing the humanly motives of bettering their material conditions in an environment that seems to provide no real alternative than through Crime. Gibson plays a sort of homage to the the hardboiled inner city cop of yesteryear albeit more aged and bitter--a mixture of casual racism, conservative disdain for social politicking and woke pop culture, and a sort of bumbling arrogance born a life spent playing fast and loose and coming out fine--he is seconded by his partner played by Vaughn who seemingly parrots Gibson's style but telling and increasingly seems less sure it as the film progress. The lot of these two are those of two social casualties of the larger socio-political zeitgeist of increasing suspicion of the police and brutality against minorities, and where a less disciplined writer/director would have either overtly praised or condemned Gibson and Vaughn's rough treatment of a drug dealer and his girlfriend we are instead given more ambiguity about where the lines are laid. This serves to highlight aspects of Gibson's character while also foreshadowing future problems and risks. The story of the duo is coupled by the story of Tory Kittles' character, a youngish inner city man recently freed from prison who is arguable the most intelligent and compassionate character in the film, who true to form of the genre is looking to build a better life for his mother and crippled brother through crime, the only path forward.

The antagonists (though, perhaps, less traditionally used) of the film are a trio of cruel, vindictive, and overtly racist bank robbers, whose resources and general manner suggest a strange mixture of middlingly wealth, education, and nihilistically tinged lethality, and they largely shape the feel and atmosphere of the film through their actions. They recruit Kittles' character and his childhood friend as drivers and almost radiate a clear murderous intent for them as their use begins to wain which the pair pick up on. They are unambiguously bad.

The strength of this film lays in the patience with which unfolds itself and the subtle, matter of fact manner in which it deconstructs Gibson's character archetype. In older films his character would have been seen as a rough but right lawman with a clear eye who has to fight against criminals and bureaucracies in almost equal measure to ensure the safety of the community; however, here, while at first appearing in such a light, admittedly, we come to see Gibson's character no so much directly failing (as would be a more common and far less interesting subversion) as continuously and partially misreading the situation and double down--never quite knowing fully what is really going on until it comes to pass but feeling the necessity for action. This very human quality to his character helps define the film and ultimately brings it to its sudden but understandable conclusion.

The films weakness lies in a some awkward and stilted dialogue that feels ripped from a right-wing radio broadcast (which I will admit may have been the intended effect), but mostly with a strange break in the narrative to introduce a unrelated side character who has nothing to add to the film other than sheer cloying pathos that in context of the film borders on an element of black comedy. If intentional it strike a strange note; if not, then it's a poor execution.

Overall, a good film that one can see an honest attempt at craftsmanship and style that does not attempt to infantilize the audience with untainted happy endings, pureness of character morality, or a facile movements of the plot.

S. Craig Zahler hat 2018 als Regisseur bereits zwei großartige und beinharte Filme unter seiner Haube gehabt: „Bone Tomahawk“ und „Brawl in Cell Block 99“. Und nicht nur als Regisseur ist Zahler beeindruckend, sondern auch als Drehbuchautor, denn er schreibt alle seine Werke selbst. Nun, ein Jahr nach seinem letzten Werk, „Brawl in Cell Block 99“ von 2017, brachte Zahler seinen neusten Film heraus: „Dragged Across Concrete“. Und wieder gab er einem gealterten Darsteller, dessen Karriere ein Tief erlebt hatte, die Chance sich zu beweisen. Dieses Mal war es Mel Gibson. Zuvor durfte Vince Vaughn als Protagonist glänzen, aber auch hier in „Dragged Across Concrete“ hat er wieder eine große Rolle. Und es hat sich gelohnt: Der Film von Zahler ist ein intensiver Krimi-Thriller, der in meinen Augen viel mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient.

Die zwei Polizisten, Brett und Anthony, werden vom Dienst suspendiert, weil Brett zu hart durchgreift bei seinen Einsätzen. Sechs Wochen ohne Bezahlung stehen an und das Geld ist knapp. Brett, fast 60, hat es satt auf sein Glück zu warten. Die Frau ist krank, die Tochter wird in der gefährlichen Nachbarschaft angegangen und der Job bringt nicht genug ein. Die beiden Polizisten entscheiden sich für einen moralisch schwierigen Weg, der allerdings lukrativ enden könnte…

Die Ausgangslage klingt bekannt, das Setting ist auch nicht wirklich neu, aber wie so oft ist es die Inszenierung des Ganzen. Zahler ist ein Meister darin solche Geschichten mit viel Realismus, Härte und doch einer gewissen Sensibilität zu erzählen. Dabei sind es viele Aspekte, wie etwa die starken Dialoge. Es gibt nur wenig Exposition, nahezu jeder Satz wirkt authentisch und echt, so auch die Handlungen der Figuren. Diese handeln intelligent und nachvollziehbar. Und trotzdem überrascht uns Zahler mit seinem Film immer wieder. Es gibt viele verschiedene Figuren und viele sind sehr menschlich dargestellt, dementsprechend möchte man auch nicht, dass ihnen etwas zustößt.

Das ist natürlich auch dem starken Cast zu verdanken. Mel Gibson ist ein toller Schauspieler und zeigt hier eine Glanzleistung als alternder Cop. Auch wenn Gibson privat einige Skandale hinter sich hat, so ist seine Arbeit doch wirklich stark. Auch Vince Vaughn ist toll wie die restliche Besetzung.

„Dragged Across Concrete“ ist nichts für schwache Nerven, auch wenn viele blutigen Momente gar nicht direkt gezeigt werden. Doch es ist die Intensität der Szenen, die Spannung, die Zahler meisterhaft aufbaut und die entstehenden Situationen daraus. Viele Figuren werden dazu gezwungen krasse Entscheidungen zu treffen und das ist wirklich spannend anzusehen. Trotzdem sind Zahlers beide Filme davor deutlich heftiger in meinen Augen.

Der Film besticht auch durch viele Szenen, in denen wenig geredet und noch weniger gehandelt wird. Das ist natürlich Geschmackssache, aber ich liebe so etwas, vor allem, wenn es gut gemacht ist. Wenn Vaughns Charakter über eine Minute ein Sandwich spachtelt, ist das in meinen Augen nicht nur witzig, sondern gibt dem Film und seinen Figuren Zeit zu atmen. Ja, das Ganze ist mit 160 Minuten vielleicht etwas zu lang, aber gelangweilt war ich nie, gerade ab dem zweiten Drittel war ich voll in der Story drin.

Zudem hat der Film neben seiner Grundstory auch einige interessante, sozialkritische Dinge, die angesprochen werden. Gerade die Idee eines alternden Mannes, der nicht mit der Zeit gehen kann und deswegen wie isoliert lebt, ist sehr spannend und tragisch zugleich.

In einigen Kritiken liest man scheinbar, dass der Film Polizeigewalt verherrlicht, was ich nicht bestätigen kann. Klar, die Figuren (auch die vermeintlich Guten) sind oftmals sehr fragwürdig in ihren Entscheidungen, aber genau das macht das Ganze doch so spannend, dafür gibt es doch Filme. Solange das Ganze keine Propaganda ist oder eben kritische Dinge verherrlicht, sollte alles erlaubt sein.

Zahlers Film ist optisch wirklich stark anzusehen. Benji Bakshis Kameraarbeit ist hervorragend. Filmmusik gibt es nicht wirklich, wir hören nur Songs, die aus dem Autoradio kommt, was aber in der Geschichte wirklich super funktioniert und eine realistische Atmosphäre erschafft.

Fazit: „Dragged Across Concrete“ ist einer der besten Filme des Jahres wie ich finde. Ein mitreißender und knallharter Thriller, der auch emotional bewegen kann. Wenn man kein Problem mit etwas längeren Filmen hat, wird man hier ein beeindruckendes Werk sehen, welches durch starke Darsteller und eine meisterhafte Inszenierung besticht!

A GRITTY AND OFTEN BRUTAL AFFAIR

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

After an op police officers/ partners Brett Ridgeman (Mel Gibson) and Anthony Lurasetti (Vince Vaughn)
working the streets of Bulwark become suspended without pay by their superior officer for using
excessive force during the op - which had been caught on camera.
Brett's wife, ill and no longer able to work means that during the suspension there will be no money
coming in, so, despite being a long-serving cop Brett calls in a favour from someone he knows who has
criminal connections.
Brett intends taking the ill-gotten gains from prospective robbers...he has begun to feel that after all
the years service he's got little to show for his loyalty, he lives in a rough part of town where even his
daughter suffers bullying from local yobs.
Meanwhile, ex-con Henry ( Tory Kittles) looking to improve things for himself and his family agree's to
become a co-getaway driver with his friend biscuit, unaware that the people he'd be working for were
brutal killers not to be trusted.
Well, with details of a proposed heist Brett along with Anthony steak-out the said starting point of the
proposed robbery
Anthony who is about to become engaged is at first wary of Brett's intent, but agree's to go along with it,
the target turns out to be a bank, after a brutal robbery the gang join their awaiting drivers to make their
getaway.
Brett and Anthony who'd awaited the four robbers to emerge set out to follow the van which after a long
drive into the countryside reaches the checkpoint
This is where Brett and Henry's paths will cross, with a shootout inevitable will the now criminal cops get
their hands on the stolen gold bullion?
This is a gritty and sometimes brutal film, which, is perhaps a little slow at times and in my view predictable,
though it does hold your attention throughout, which is what makes it -
, Certainly worthy of a viewing.
Footnote - Most films I've seen featuring Vince Vaughn tends to be comedy, nice to see him in a more serious
role.

Wedding Crashers 2: Nightmare in Blue

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 24, 2019

Three movies into the 'cult' of director S. Craig Zahler and for me personally, I'm still not feelin' it. On the surface, his predilection for macho genre blending heroics would normally be right up my alley, but thus far I've been left cold following his debut 'Bone Tomahawk', the ludicrously titled 'Brawl in Cell Block 99' and now 'Dragged Across Concrete'. Even his screenplay-only foray into marionette mayhem with 'Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich' lacked the lunacy of its progenitor and resembled a warmed over microwave dinner, rather than the juicy, blood red steak it so clearly should have been. Anyway, I digress - onto the review...

When police officers Brett Ridgeman (Mel Gibson) and Anthony Lurasetti (Vince Vaughn) are suspended following a bout of rough 'n tumble with a hapless perp, they decide to take matters into their own hands. Ridgeman, an older cop with a disabled wife and bullied daughter alongside Lurasetti, much younger but constantly in turmoil if his longterm partner will marry him - hatch a plan to rob career criminal Lorentz Vogelmann (Thomas Kretschmann). However as with all best laid plans, things take a turn for the worse when Vogelmann's hit becomes bloody and the two cops (alongside hired get away drivers Henry (Tory Kittles) and Biscuit (Michael Jai White) become embroiled in the darkest night of their lives...

I really wanted to like this movie. Going in, its got all the right elements: Blistering lead performances from Gibson, Jai White and Kittles alongside a story that is ripe for tension and soul searching. However, a near 3-hour running time slow proceedings down to a mere crawl and at times I was hoping the film would kick into high gear; which sadly it doesn’t. Listen, I have no issue with long movies but they have to hold the attention and this failed to grab me - even with all the fine performances on show. Lead Gibson is solid and its his show all the way: Older and defined, he’s the old gunslinger in a Sam Pekinpah movie (which director Zahler obviously OD’ed on as a kid) and commands the screen whenever he’s there… which is a lot. Sadly, the usually reliable Vaughan barely registers in an underwritten role which basically has him either eating all the time or making sad face about his wedding plans… Thankfully, co-star Tory Kittles is a revelation and flanks Gibson in a solid two hander, making them the real ‘buddy duo’ of the piece. Michael Jai White is also excellent (as always for me) with a mere support role, but makes it his own. Witness his anxiety ridden performance when driving the van - its subtle, but for me he was the only character in the movie I could relate to and delivered the best performance in the movie. Director Zahler (like a certain Mr Tarantino) obviously wears his influences on his sleeve - but where that director celebrates his ‘rip-offery’ with exuberant set pieces and knowing winks to the audience, Zahler would rather bury it within dull monologues and re-worked genre flicks from days gone by (Jennifer Carpenter delivers a great piece of acting, but her cameo is pure offbeat ‘70s Euro crime-lite)…

StudioCanal’s UK blu-ray release grants the movie a very sharp transfer with bolstering audio alongside a set of extra features which cover the movie’s production, etc. All in all, its not a bad movie and some will find meaning in the pseudo depth of the characters and hackneyed screenplay, but for me it’s just another case of ‘seen it all before’ which may have do something with my age - so best to make the decision for yourself. Thumbs up for the cast (especially Michael Jai White and Tory Kittles) and a rather tense 5 minute get away sequence midway through (that is truly exciting) but thumbs down for the recycled screenplay and pretentious air of superiority that runs throughout the entire endeavour.

Tarantino, eat your heart out!

After enjoying the heck out of Bone Tomahawk, I thought I'd check out the other movies from S. Craig Zahler. Whilst I'm waiting for Brawl In Cell Block 99, I took the time to check out this beauty, Dragged Across Concrete. A film that I can only describe as a movie Quentin Tarantino wishes he could make.

Dragged Across Concrete was initially released in early 2019, this was after it debuted at the Venice International Film Festival in September, 2018. The film is written and directed by the previously mentioned S. Craig Zahler. The film stars an aging Mel Gibson and a fairly round looking Vince Vaughn. They are two police officers that get suspended after a drug bust went wrong. To make ends meet on their time off, Brett Ridgeman (Gibson) enlists his partner Anthony Lurasetti (Vaughn) into depriving some crooks of their drug money. As their plan moves forward, they find themselves deeper in an ever growing hole in which it looks like there's no return.

I honestly didn't know that much about Dragged Across Concrete when I bought it. All I knew was it starred the previously mentioned actors and I have enjoyed another one of the director's releases. I've seen many people talking about this movie being overly long and boring online. This is an opinion I can understand. It is without a doubt a slow burn at two and a half hours long. It's also technically a very dialogue heavy movie with a good chunk of it feeling very natural and not necessarily relevant to the actual film plot. Personally speaking, I actually quite enjoyed the pacing of the film. I felt that it took its time and only developed the story when it needed to. In between these scenes, we got to know a number of characters and I felt it was one of the more natural films I've seen in a good while.

It's a visually impressive movie. The quality of the film is really sharp, the amount of detail is fantastic. The set pieces are all very down to earth and real. There's no signs of cheap sets or much in the way of CGI throughout the movie. It's also not an action film by any means but there are a few scenes of intense gun play and some pretty impressive gore. One scene in particular might shock some. I loved it. It was nice to see a film take those sort of risks.

Dragged Across Concrete is definitely a type of film I wish people would make more of. There's nothing fancy or flashy about it. It's a straight faced, slow paced, bleak film that really shows just how good Mel Gibson still is and how much promise the director has. If you like your slow burn cop dramas, this might be a good one for you to pick up. It's a really good movie.
