    The title of the film gives you a pretty good description of what it feels like to watch Dragged Across Concrete.

    S. Craig Zahler, the director of the weird western horror Bone Tomahawk, has now put together this nasty, often brilliant crime-thriller complete with a touch of horror and sadism.

    Mel Gibson plays Brett – a cop approaching 60 in a fictional US town that looks a lot like Vancouver, reports The Guardian.

    His former partner Calvert (Don Johnson) has been promoted way ahead of him – due, we are given to understand, to his greater facility in ass-kissing and political correctness. Now Brett’s partner is Anthony, played by a more-than-usually-engaged Vince Vaughn, and together our two amigos participate in an overzealous drug bust; this results in a work- and income-related disaster causing Brett to suggest to Anthony a certain off-the-record freelance opportunity. Anthony agrees to go along with it, while sorrowingly calling this “a bad idea – like lasagne in a can”.

    There are sub-plots and more sub-plots that all come together to create interesting twists, turns and clever parallels.

    Take a look:

    Critics are loving the film, one describing it like this:

    Dragged Across Concrete doesn’t drag. This is a long film, but there is something so horribly compelling about its unhurried slouch towards the precipice.

    Dragged Across The Concrete is definitely worth a watch.
