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.

Slow, dark, and uslessy violent.

Wow, just wow. And not in a good way. This movie started off slow, slowed down, then shifted into reverse. I love a slow burn but the fuse would NOT stay lit on this one. I had to watch this uninteresting, wearisome yarn in installments. The dialogue was terrible… the story, disjoined… new characters get introduced well into the second act that don't really factor into the plot. JFC, such horsesh*t writing. This movie is patently stupid. There's absolutely no reason for the run time—should have been 90-105 min TOPS! I like Mel, and I like Vaughn, but this is not their best work. Not to mention wasting MJW. Ugh. What a steaming crock.

A- it slowly but surely keeps you interested to its end. what i loved most about it was the dialogue, also Mel Gibson's performance. overall it was a worthy watch.

I thought this was raw and unpolished (in a good way). Compelling characters. When the girl from Dexter got her arm blown off my jaw dropped.

What a joke of a plot. How critics gave it more than a c grade is to me just evidence that the movies are a business and critics are part of that business. The dialogue was forced. The stupid percentages that Gibson endlessly mouthed. Not worth watching.

If you need noise to be on in the background while you nap then this is your movie. Absolutely awful. My first review. I created the account to let others know how terrible this movie is.

The dialogue has a nicely off-kilter feel.

Dirty, angry, and it feels like it wants to pick a fight with you.

Sydney Morning Herald

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

It's gritty thriller that's as tough as its title.

While it's certainly not a pleasant watch thanks to its brutal violence and bloated runtime, the murkiness merits discussion and deliberation.

M.N. Miller

Ready Steady Cut

You simply can never know what is going to happen next in Zahler’s pulp-fiction exploitation tale that is a brutal, uncompromising, unapologetic, and often repugnant journey that is compulsively watchable.
