Zahler perhaps over-complicated things in Dragged Across Concrete, setting up a lot of characters so that their fates matter, but at the cost of extending the run time to unwarranted lengths. Many of the Cell Block 99 cast return, including Vince Vaughn as a suspended cop partnered with Mel Gibson who goes along with a plan to rob some robbers,with tragic results. Cell Block 99's theme of "how far would you go for your family" is present an accounted for, if less focused. Some have compared Zahler to Tarantino, and there is some truth to it - the tapestry of characters, the idiosyncratic language, the stylized violence... but in this case, there's also how he riffs on blaxploitation films with funky songs written for the movie. He wrote them himself, and while I wouldn't switch careers if I were him, songs like Jungle Safari would fit very well in an early 70s exploitation movie. As to whether the whole lion motif works, I'm still puzzling it out. Similarly, though Zahler has called himself apolitical, his three films together are like right-wing fever dreams and I can't decide if he's playing to that demographic or mocking it.Earring72
What a dissapointment. Not enough story and overlong. Desperately in need of an editor. Very frustrating movieboulderman
Not as good as Brawl in cell block 99.Decent action, dialogue and acting (some questions on the 'flavour' of some characters in 21C). Nice buildup, great chemistry with various players and otherwise nice characterisations. Slightly slow at times
Very good, 7/10

Excellent movie with a lot of unpredictable moments. Dialogue is fantastic, although goes a little too over the top with Vaughn's character. You can appreciate it in a Guy Ritchie sort of way. In fact the whole movie out Ritchies Ritchie.
