Reviews for Pusher
The director has cooked up a very disturbing film, that is derivative of Pulp Fiction.
Cinematographer Morten Søberg's visuals have a crisp documentary look that interlocks nicely with Frank's ongoing decline.
The biggest surprise is how you give a damn about what happens to Refn's bad guy--a testament to Bodnia's native likeability.
First in a series of 3 films about Copenhagen drug dealers. Sardonic comedy in the "Goodfellas" vein.
The film practically vibrates with youthful aggression, sly humor and gathering tension, hurling itself forward like a junkie toward the next fix.
