Dragged Across Concrete


If "Pulp Fiction" and "Heat" were to have a baby, it would be "Dragged Across Concrete." OMG did I love this film. I love bank heist pictures and I like dark- this is both. It's super violent and has a sick sense of humour.
Before I watched this film on a whim, I had no idea who S. Craig Zahler was. He is the writer and director of this masterpiece of a movie. He is also the co-writer of "Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich" (which was a guilty pleasure of mine from last year) and the writer and director of "Bone Tomahawk" - a violent Western staring Kurt Russell I very much enjoyed.
Mel Gibson is in the third act of his career and it's looking impressive - Blood FatherThe Professor and the Madman, and Dragged Across Concrete.
With a crazy run time of 2 hours and 39 minutes, Dragged Across Concrete is one of the best action/thriller pictures of 2019 and you should watch it right now.
