I liked it but seemed so simple and not as fast paced as I expected. He lost drugs and is screwed...thats about it? I mean theres nothing deep about a drug dealer and the violence wasn't the most brutal thing in the film.
Either way, a good entry for Nicholas Winding Refn beca... read more
A day by day account of a week in the life of Copenhagen drug dealer Frank whose life falls apart when a deal goes bad. Pusher is the portrait of a small time criminal filmed in documentary style that reminded me a lot of Shane Meadows in it's unflinchingly realistic approach. Th... read more

An impressive feat by someone who had no experience whatsover on the making of movies. The way the movie transforms from a silly bro comedy into darker, tenser territory is very well made, though it wastes a bit too much time on pointless improvised scenes and trying to be more r... read more
It's gritty and realistic. Definitely worth a watch if you're into crime dramas.
Strange ending this movie had. I'm sure it has a meaning to it but I don't really feel like watching it again to figure it out. Worth a warch but I don't know if I'll sit through it again.
PUSHER is a dark and raw crime drama from Denmark that shows what happens in the shadows of drug pushers. Great from the first frame, the film delivers an honest vision and welcomes us into Frank's unstable world. Alone or with back-stabbing characters worse than he is, Frank mak... read more
Outstandingly well-done for a first-time director with no formal training on a shoestring budget, but something about it is unappealingly typical. Full Review
Refn's electrifying debut soon morphs into something far more opaque and unsettling than a mere genre retread. Full Review
First in a series of 3 films about Copenhagen drug dealers. Sardonic comedy in the "Goodfellas" vein. Full Review
The biggest surprise is how you give a damn about what happens to Refn's bad guy--a testament to Bodnia's native likeability. Full Review
...like a Copenhagen cinema verité edition of Mean Streets Full Review
The best asset of the film is Kim Bodnia Full Review
The director has cooked up a very disturbing film, that is derivative of Pulp Fiction. Full Review
Cinematographer Morten Søberg's visuals have a crisp documentary look that interlocks nicely with Frank's ongoing decline. Full Review
