Fresh off the Oscar-nominated WWII drama Hacksaw Ridge, Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn are re-teaming for Dragged Across Concrete, a crime thriller about police brutality directed by Bone Tomahawk filmmaker S. Craig Zahler.

The script centers around two policemen, an old-timer portrayed by Gibson and a volatile younger partner played by Vaughn, who are suspended when a video of their strong-arm tactics draws widespread media attention. The duo descend into the criminal underworld to exact vengeance, but find far more than they wanted awaiting them in the shadows.
Vaughn starred as a scene-stealing sergeant in the Gibson-directed Hacksaw Ridge, which drew six Oscar nods, including best picture and best director. He previously starred in Zahler’s prison drama Brawl in Cell Block 99.
