- Story Text: No stranger to playing roles on both sides of the law, actor Vince Vaughn arrived in Venice on Monday (September 3) with new suspenseful cop drama, "Dragged Across Concrete".
Written and directed by "Bone Tomahawk" director, S. Craig Zahler and co-starring actor Mel Gibson, Vaughn and Gibson play detectives suspended after a member of the public's video of their strong-armed tactics is leaked to the media.
Short of money and without any other options, the pair turns to crime, with life-changing effects.
Vaughn told reporters at the film's news conference that his character, detective Anthony Lurasetti, has a conscious, unlike other embittered cop characters that feels "realistic and unique", crediting Zahler's scriptwriting.
The writer-director responded:
"I'm just really interested in doing pieces (about) where the story goes, but the world of the story is larger than just the plot."
Gibson was absent from the festival, but Vaughn and Zahler were joined by co-stars Tory Kittles and Michael Rai White on the red carpet in the evening.
"Dragged Across Concrete" is screening out of competition at the 75th Venice Film Festival. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
