Though it was slow, the extreme length allowed for me to get to know the characters on top of seeing some extremely gory action. In hindsight, there was a lot of the film that could have been cut out without changing the story, but all of that felt so right while watching it.

This film is set up through its inserted talking points as a rejection (or at least a complication) of the politics of guilt (concerning US racial politics etc.), yet it in fact repeats the same sacrificial structure as BRAWL IN CELL BLOCK 99: in a dark universe, even well-meaning husbands and fathers do bad things, and the only way for them truly to redeem themselves is to leave a pot of gold while themselves withdrawing into nonexistence. Good black sons with crippled brothers can live. Guilt!

Under Quarantine Film Reviews #115: Dragged Across Concrete has no right to be as good as it is, its incredibly long, slow pacing, questionable protagonists, Mel Gibson, surreal dark humor, multiple stakeouts, and brutal violence but it works. It all works and it's glorious.

Zahler's brand of violence and brutality should be taken with caution. I have a feeling that I would not get along with the director, but he does make daring films that scratch a certain itch. This paced crime-drama isn't all gold, as I cannot fathom why he needed to paint his villains with such a menacing, broad brush. Jennifer Carpenter is done dirty in this film and it feels sadistic as the audience already knew that these guys were bad. Still, this is a pretty unforgettable film.

This movie is slow as hell, the last third of the movie is the most interesting part as there is something of greater intrigue going on. I wasn't engaged with much of this and by the end I feel like it partially made up for the sleepwalked performances of the two leads and the sluggish pace. A very apt title to say the least.

SCZ's no country for old men, cept mel’s been “scuffing concrete” too long to dream of a simpler world; all he wants is his piece. zahler doubles down here for good and ill, self-parodically calculated and edgy but a welcome respite from hyperactive hollywood, dwelling in the winding sentences between cracks of punctuative violence. the film is gibson's though, each expression and posture bristling with an entrenched scorn for those who, to quote chigurh, “second say the world".

for a right mood i think. slowpaced with some action. feels raw as almost no soundscapes...probably a feature for it to look more 'authentic'.

Maybe if they cut away a bit of the dialogue it would have been an easier watch. However as it is, it’s way to long and I had a hard time staying engaged even though I normally enjoy these gritty films with Mel Gibson.

While it's pretty acceptable for films to play systemic race, class, and gender concerns straight, they all forget what this film takes for granted: it's systemic. Understood. Normalized. As tired and cliche as the next inevitable cop beating video you can't do anything about. The fatalism and misanthropy creates this scene around the mid-way point that would be tasteless if it weren't so fucking daring. The last half is pure cinema, as imagined by one of those cops in the viral videos.

Zahler is an accomplished director, but the standard of his writing has dipped dramatically here. The script is full of dialogue that's meant to be funny and smart but is rarely either, and it drags the performances down. The heavy handed social commentary is also super cringe and most of the attempts at characterization only serve to make the running time far too long for what the movie is. The third act is well done but overall this is not up to the standard of his previous films.

The first hour or so is unbearably slow with some unnecessarily bad political takes. Everything after that is some damn fine filmmaking. Easily Mel Gibson's best movie in years.

Solid genre exercise that is let down by overlength, some overwritten dialogue and a few poorly judged scenes of over the top violence, which don't have the same impact as they had in Bone and Brawl. Zahler spends far too much time establishing characters that aren't sufficiently developed, but the stakeout scenes feel more authentic than usual, especially in their use of time, and the 3rd act is tense and really well staged. Gibson also does his best work in years as an aging racist cop.

I’m still not quite sure if Zahler is a genuinely great filmmaker or not. I guess he’s good, because he does make entertaining films, but I don’t know if there’s much artistic merit here. It’s a slow burn, but there’s plenty of good tension towards the end. I thought Mel Gibson was better than I’ve seen him in a very long time. Definitely some good scenes but also some very pretentious dialogue. Worth watching.

It's incredibly slow but sometimes these really slow movies come out where there's something endearing/magical about the way that it so unapologetically lends itself to the pacing, like The American years ago. This fits into that. I never knew what was going to happen, the third act (as noted by someone else) is tense, and also just very deliberate feeling, refreshing. Vaughn and Gibson are great together. The dialogue's style doesn't work all the time, occasionally feeling overwritten.

Too long, slow paced but never boring. The writer and director of such films as "Bone Tomahawk"(2015) and "Brawl In Cell Block 99"(2017), "Dragged Across Concrete" adds another solid film to S. Craig Zahler's impressive resume. Not his best movie but still has some killer scenes. Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn play their roles good, I think the screenplay could have made their performances better. Dark, graphic, gruesome and everything expected from a Zahler film.

So mellow, cruel and mundane slow-burner about late capitalist rules falling apart and actually serving those who dear to thrive through hell in order to change their lives. So many great stuff here: best stakeouts ever, funny and subtle comedy bits in car rides, such a pulpy and yet humane ending. And also the brilliant score and soundtrack.
