Wtf?

Gibson and Vaughn will play cops who are suspended when a video of their strong-arm tactics gets wide attention. They then descend into the criminal underworld to exact vengeance.

More info on plot:

In Dragged Across Concrete, a stolid, old guard policeman, Ridgeman (Gibson) and his volatile younger partner, Anthony (Vaughn), find themselves suspended when a video of their strong-arming tactics become the media’s special du jour. Low on cash and with no other options, these two embittered soldiers descend into the criminal underworld to gain their just due, but instead find far more than they wanted awaiting them in the shadows.

[Slayven]

He just fucking with people now. Bet he uses "Pack of Niggers"

 

[hydrophilic attack]

yeah i expect a lot of people starting to cater to the ever growing deplorable market

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Geeze Gibson. Making another autobiographical film.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Wtf?

Somehow I doubt the police brutality they're talking about is the police brutality people care about.

SUSPENDED WITH PAY PENDING INVESTIGATION

Rated PG-13

 

[UnemployedVillain]

I guess Mel felt he needed a role where he could method act

 

[Garrett Hawke]

He just fucking with people now. Bet he uses "Pack of Niggers"

The way he has been reaccepted into Hollywood is disgusting tbh. Although idk why I expected anything else after Polanski.

 

[- J - D -]

Mel's gonna go full method for this one.

 

[Any Questions]

Nazi police?

 

[Game-Biz]

SUSPENDED WITH PAY PENDING INVESTIGATION

Lmao

 

[BadAss2961]

Another serious role for Vaughn? I know he can do better than True Detective S2.

 

[TheBioLover]

 

[Sephzilla]

Jesus Mel, you just started to get accepted by the mainstream again

 

[SURGEdude]

Method actors.

 

[4 is a cutie]

Mel is a perfect fit
He already has experience hating niggers

 

[Harmen]

Eh, I hope this is better than it sounds given Gibsons history and the very prominent real life issues of police violence.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Seriously? Disgraced cops enacting vengeance

I almost had high hopes then I read the description

"exact vengeance"

I'm gunna assume now nothing good will come of it tbh

 

[Bronx-Man]

The villain will be a 16-year-old teen played by Ving Rhames.

 

[Sub_Level]

 

[Jeevesmeister]

Can't say I'm surprised. Here's Vince Vaughn posing with a noted Libertarian.

 

[HStallion]

Well it was this or Mel Gibson playing a cruel slave owner.

 

[LifEndz]

He just fucking with people now. Bet he uses "Pack of Niggers"

That line still stands out to me, and it's not for the n-word drop. A pack...a group of us is a pack to him. Now that's some down home racism right there.

Anyway, after seeing tough guy Vaughn in True Decrective season 2, I'm not all that interested.

 

[Messofanego]

"We can't wait to play Nazis"

 

[illmatic22]

wut

 

[studyguy]

How does one exact vengeance on the general public from the underworld when you're caught doing dirty shit?

 

[FrontalMonk]

Seriously? Disgraced cops enacting vengeance

I almost had high hopes then I read the description

Same. My first gut reaction was "oh maybe this is like a new take on lethal weapon" but now I'm like, vengeance against who?

 

[Slayven]

Will there be a cameo of George Zimmerman?

 

[OG Shaka Zulu]

Sorry. Who are these crooked cops exacting revenge on? Is this going to be a responsible social commentary or is this for the AllLivesMatter crowd?

 

[Sorcerer]

Are Gibson's and Vauhn's characters suspended for being brutal to Jesus?

 

[SURGEdude]

Mel is a perfect fit
He already has experience hating niggers

And if he runs into a kike (sp?) they better watch out cuz Mel's about. They started all the wars after all

Spoiler

Honestly WTF does that even mean?

Sounds like a horrifyingly racist cop show from when that dickhead Trump was in office.

 

[Luschient]

Can't say I'm surprised. Here's Vince Vaughn posing with a noted Libertarian.

Lol, I always forget how freaking tall Vaughn is.

 

[Cagey]

"Descend into criminal underworld" would suggest it's about some crime ring and the cops goes rogue.

 

[Dierce]

Yep.... hollywood trying to appeal to right wing shitheads.

 

[shiftplusone]

Mel is a perfect fit
He already has experience hating niggers

This can't go well. It'll be a jewish guy at the top of the evil empire who set them up

SUSPENDED WITH PAY PENDING INVESTIGATION

Rated PG-13

omg

Well it was this or Mel Gibson playing a cruel slave owner.

yeah he's gotta take what he can get.

Theres just not that many options in hollywood for white actors.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Can't say I'm surprised. Here's Vince Vaughn posing with a noted Libertarian.

That's gotta be...that's gotta be Kane!

 

[Sheentak]

Lol, I always forget how freaking tall Vaughn is.

Is he with kane

 

[SpaceWolf]

"I first signed onto this project in 2005. As a matter of fact, I've actually been trying to get into character for the last twelve years"

 

[Slayven]

Sorry. Who are these crooked cops exacting revenge on? Is this going to be a responsible social commentary or is this for the AllLivesMatter crowd?

remember that guy that went to jail after he happened to film the police killing Eric Garnder? Folks like that

 

[LiK]

Not too far off from reality.

 

[Volimar]

Yep.... hollywood trying to appeal to right wing shitheads.

The theater floors are going to be so sticky. And it won't be from soda.

 

[ZealousD]

Can't say I'm surprised. Here's Vince Vaughn posing with a noted Libertarian.

Libertarians hate cops. So this is not evidence that this is some kind of Blue Lives Matter flick.

 

[gun_haver]

I'm not clear on the tone of this movie - then going to the criminal underworld to 'exact vengeance' sounds pretty god damn horrible, unless it's supposed to and Mel and Vince are playing the bad guys.

Cos, they can't seriously be making a movie about false accusations of police brutality can they? That's an pretty destructive and cynical way to make a bit of money. Western culture is too susceptible to that kind of far-right bullshit right now.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Maybe it's like Gran Torino and ends up being better than it would read in a description

 

[Enzom21]

Pieces of shit playing pieces of shit... seems about right.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

They then descend into the criminal underworld to exact vengeance.

I don't get this line. Who are they getting vengeance on? Why? "You've exposed our racist shit and brutality so we're going to kill you in response"? Seems like a very odd premise.

Maybe vengeance on the media or something? Lmao

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Vaughan as cop? Fuck, bet it's his apology letter for True Detective.

 

[ICO_SotC]

Spoilers:

Their "strong arm" tactics will be portrayed in the film as necessary and needed in an "anti-police" atmosphere, but they'll be "portrayed" unfairly by the "liberal" media becuase the incriminating video was edited to exclude footage that makes what they did seem acceptable, and they will targeted by the PC bureaucratic system for "racism".

There I saved you $10.

The way he has been reaccepted into Hollywood is disgusting tbh.

Schwarzenegger as well. He was used as a tool by the Republican party to get Grey Davis recalled so they could further destroy California.

He was welcomed back to "liberal" Hollywood with open arms too.
