Mel Gibson, Vince Vaughn. Director S. Craig Zahler, who is turning into one of the new great filmmakers.
Holy shit this was good. I think it might be my favorite of his films so far. Also check out Brawl on Cell Block 99 and Bone Tomahawk if you haven't already.
And f#ck all you assholes for not making a thread for this and recommending it a long time ago. Don't watch the trailer. Just watch the film. It's a gem..
In this new, bleak and often unexpectedly grand genre movie (it's essentially a buddy-cop flick, but with operatic ambitions), the thread out of place, both irritably scratching and strangely arresting, is Mel Gibson.
They make a great pairing, Zahler and Vaughn. Brawl in Cell Block 99 is a hilariously deadpan, brutal movie. Haven't seen this yet but look forward to it.
