Pusher

One of the most disappointing remakes of all time in my opinion. Firstly, like most remakes, it is completely unnecessary. Secondly, it hasn't got an ounce of the intensity of the original and thirdly, it's like watching a rehearsal of a church play based on the original film. It's that bad. It's also the worst bit of casting I've seen for a very long time, they had the character of Frank completely wrong. Much like the cardboard cut out that Agyness Deyn is, it's all style over content but without the style. Seriously, they swapped Mads Mikkelsen for Bronson Webb! My initial joy at seeing that Zlatko Buric had returned to the role of Milo was soon shattered too when it became obvious that he was in it for the money, nothing more and, as much as I love him, the less said about Paul Kaye's cartoon gangster the better. Sacrilege, watch the original instead.
