Dir: Nicolas Winding Refn
2004
****
Nicolas Winding Refn could have left the original Pusher film alone but thankfully he had enough talent and enough guts to go on and complete a trilogy. It continues the with the story of Tonny but involves many of the same characters from the first film who then go on to appear in the third film, tying up the trilogy quite nicely. The great thing about the Pusher trilogy is that as entertaining as it is, it never once portrays the criminal underworld as something glamorous or desirable. Broken people lead broken lives, Mads Mikkelsen's performance is intense and nothing short of compelling.
