Dragged Across Concrete

Posted by Dr Phibes on March 23, 2019 at 06:57:12:
"Dragged Across Concrete" with Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn features some of the same cast as "Brawl in Cell Block 99" (Jennifer Carpenter , Don Johnson, Vince Vaughn).
The film has a series of isolated incidents that give the characters backstory before flinging them together, via heist, into a violent climax.
Even though I'm pretty thick skinned, some of the viciousness displayed upset me (the Jennifer Carpenter character in particular).
Gibson and Vaughn had chemistry and Gibson in particular was willing to be grizzled and unattractive.
If one doesn't want to discuss the fine line between a good action film, verses the sociological viewpoint of this story - it might be a good choice. Me? I was at the edge of my seat for a few minutes. In this climate of Hollywood dreck, sometimes that's as much as I can ask for.

Have a great day
