Dragged Across Concrete

[prettyxcool]

Disillusioned cops, ex convict, robbers, indiscriminate killing and violence, this is definitely a hard and tense watch. Incredibly long too!

Exceptional performances from Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn as the dillusioned cops. It tells a tale of the desperate measures to get out of poverty, by any means by both cops and ex convict. Stylishly and brutally told, as it hurtles to its ending, which I kind of guessed. At the end, I felt like I was dragged acrossed concrete too! 8/10

Was pretty riveting, with careful build up of characters to make it superior cop tv style, like a really decent near 3 hour episode of the Shield with a better script. Mel Gib reminds me of the Max Payne character from that game we used to play, hard boiled detective...there even felt like there was 2 references to the game in it, but surely a coincidence.

This movie only got a short run 1 week run

After the brilliant Bone Tomahawk I missed Brawl in Cell Block 99 so determined to see this

There are two scenes which stand out the second is a spoiler as I would have to describe it here is the first
Neil McCauley Heat : (Robert de Niro)
"Your money is insured by the federal government, you're not gonna lose a dime! Think of your families, don't risk your life. Don't try and be a hero!

Reason for the comparison another robbery
