S. Craig Zahler's Dragged Across Concrete is a brutal, uncompromising heist thriller featuring Mel Gibson, Vince Vaughn, and a shocker of an ending.
The shocking ending to Dragged Across Concrete has some deeper meanings to unpack. Written and directed S. Craig Zahler, the film stars Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn as Detectives Brett Ridgeman and Anthony Lurasetti, who are suspended without pay following a widely reported incident of police brutality. To score some quick cash, they tail a band of bank robbers to a garage, where they engage in a blood-drenched armed showdown that ends with most of the characters dying horrifically.
When the suspended cops follow the van full of stolen gold to a garage in the countryside, all parties engage in an intense standoff. Almost everyone involved in the shootout ends up dead – Detective Lurasetti, professional thief Lorentz Vogelmann, his henchmen Black Gloves and Grey Gloves, and their hostage Cheryl – with only Ridgeman and Henry left standing. The two agree to split the loot between them, but they each reveal a hidden firearm, and Henry fatally wounds Ridgeman.
The day of the bank heist happens to be Kelly’s first day back at work at the end of her maternity leave. When she’s introduced at home, she’s reluctant to leave her baby for a few hours, and her partner locks her out to force her to go to work. Going to work at all is a tragedy for Kelly because she wants to stay at home with her child – but it turns much more tragic when armed robbers show up.
Will Henry Release The Video? During Henry's climactic negotiation with the surviving detective, he reveals that he caught Ridgeman and Lurasetti breaking the law on video. He threatens to release the video if Ridgeman turns on him. The movie doesn’t reveal if Henry released the video of Ridgeman and Lurasetti getting their hands dirty in the aftermath of the heist, but it seems unlikely.
