  • Summary: This trilogy stands as a masterful reinvention of international crime cinema, as poignantly human as it is brutally and viscerallyrealized. The three films reveal the humanity in even the most violent criminals and how every pusher -- no matter what his status -- is only one bad deal away from total ruin. (Magnolia Pictures) … Expand

    While I have no problem enthusiastically recommending writer-director Nicolas Winding Refn's Pusher trilogy, I'd also heartily discourage all but the most rabid crime-movie nuts from consuming the whole thing in one afternoon or evening.

    Like everybody else in the Pusher films, Buric contemplates what it would take to leave the mob life behind. And like everybody else, he decides he wants to get better without getting well.

    Each film in Nicolas Winding Refn's mesmerizingly brutal Pusher trilogy can stand on its own, but it's fun to see all three and observe the way the bad guys in one become the sympathetic heroes (or anti-heroes) in another.

    Cruising late-nite cable, I stumbled upon the restaurant party scene in Pusher III. It's rare that my remote finger pauses for long but this scene grabbed me by the throat. Aside from being beautifully shot, the performance of Zlatko Buric, as the father Milo, was mesmerizing. I knew nothing of the plot or who this man was but watching him work the room and seemingly engage the guests, his subtle nervous energy suggested something else was on his mind.(little did I know) I knew then that I needed to see this film and start it from the beginning. To my surprise, I found out it was the 3rd film of the Pusher trilogy. Wisely, I decided to start at the "real" beginning and ordered all 3 from Netflix. Boy o' boy, I struck gold!! I loved all 3 films with Pusher III my fave. These are grim stories, with grim characters and the filmmaker lets them be. These are great, great films. This ain't Hollywood........thank God.… Expand

    The spiritual successors to Scorsese’s Mean Streets, done with an edge of realism and honesty that is hard to come by these days. Kim Bodina gives a phenomenal performance as Frank in Pusher 1, as does Zlatko Buric (who plays Daniel Craig’s nemesis in the new Bond film) who recalls DeNiro’s turn as Johnny Boy, in all his manic playfulness, and utter foolishness. Refn’s direction is spot on; intense cinema verite that gives the viewer room to think. Its a brilliant trilogy that stands the test of time.… Expand

    Incredible cliched, plotless, sterotype characters and bad camerawork. do not waste your money. Refn is a talentless hack who is known in his own country, Denmark, for begging newspapers for good reviews for his movies. Now you know.… Expand
