The controversial Dragged Across Concrete proves that Lethal Weapon 5 could struggle to overcome its star's public persona. Dragged Across Concrete has recently proven a hit on Netflix, but the slow-burn cop thriller was not such an unqualified success upon its original 2019 release. While Dragged Across Concrete’s deliberate pacing and nightmarish atmosphere won the movie its fair share of admirers, like director S. Craig Zahler’s earlier efforts Dragged Across Concrete was also heavily criticized for its reactionary, conservative story. A movie wherein the most heroic characters are cops who unapologetically indulge in police brutality, Dragged Across Concrete understandably met critical pushback upon release.
