Two police detectives – an old-timer (Mel Gibson) and his volatile younger partner (Vince Vaughn) – find themselves suspended from the force when a video of them strong-arming a suspect is leaked to the media. Low on cash and with no other options, the renegade cops have no choice but to descend into the criminal underworld to survive. There, they are put on a collision course with a desperate ex-con and a ruthless crime boss, and find far more than they bargained for waiting in the shadows.

The latest neo-noir from director S. Craig Zahler (Brawl in Cell Block 99, also starring Vaughn), Dragged Across Concrete is a hardboiled, slow-burning thriller that makes full use of its excellent ensemble cast.
