“There’s a reason I’m sitting behind this desk running things and you’re out there with a partner that’s 20 years younger than you,” the boss tells Detective Brett Ridgeman. “There’s a lot of imbeciles,” he reminds. Here’s the first trailer for Dragged Across Concrete, starring Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn in a Hacksaw Ridge reunion. Check it out above.
Here is the logline: Two police detectives (Gibson and Vaughn) find themselves suspended after a video of their strong arm tactics is leaked to the media.
