Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn's debut, Pusher is a tough-skinned glimpse into the world of a middle-man lowlife drug dealer and the hole he digs deeper & deeper for himself over a week.
The first part of a trilogy is a tense thriller shot like a documentary that seethes with unsettling realism and somehow escapes all the usual trappings of the standard Hollywood crime drama. Kim Bodnia does an excellent job as the criminal protagonist that you can't help but root for no matter how low he is in his desperate yet idiotic decisions. A tale with no remorse, this is a film that is just a taste of what's to come in Refn's career.
