WOW,
By Quaddy (club tech-noir) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pusher Trilogy [DVD] (DVD)
if you want to be challenged, gripped, intrigued, eager for the next plot to untwist then this fast moving yet candid observation about the criminal characters involved with crime and drugs might just be the assault on your senses you are looking for...
addictevly watchable, like a page turner of a book, thus never dragging, the first film hits you with the authentic stamp of approval of what Refn, the director is capable and leads you down a rabbit hole of the everyday minutia of the main and sub-characters daily lives. once you see the first film you will want to watch the last and the only way to do that is to watch the one in between! if its the only trilogy you treat yourself too this year, it will have been worth it.

Pusher Trilogy,

This review is from: Pusher Trilogy [DVD] (DVD)
If you haven't heard of, or watched the Pusher movies then you are missing out on the delights of world cinema.
This is great filmmaking, that's not that widely known because of the commercial blockbuster nature of mainstream British cinemas. This DVD release is the chance to appreciate a relatively over looked classic. The three films are based around the lives of three Copenhagen pushers and the cycle of violence and despair they live in and around. Each focussing on a different main character, out of the same world. If you liked La Haine or City of God, or the best of the Dogma movies, this trilogy will deliver. Intelligent filmaking, raw and real, without glamour or sentinmentality. Makes 'Lock, Stock...' look like Noddy..

Brilliant Trilogy!,
By
This review is from: Pusher Trilogy [DVD] (DVD)
Who'd have thought it; a set of gangster films set in Denmark?! Most people outside of Denmark think Lego, Danish pastries and bacon, and that's about it!Anyway, I saw the first of the trilogy a good few years ago now, and really enjoyed it. I was surprised that there had been two new films with some of the same characters from the original movie. The first movie is about Frank, and a drug deal that goes wrong, and, more and more, Frank finds himself in a pickle, and things go from bad to worse. We also meet Milo, a scary ganglord, and Tonny, a sort of bald-headed loser and friend of Frank, who ends up getting a battering from Frank. This is a really good movie. The second movie is about Tonny, who is played by the excellent actor Mads Mikkelsen, in the first two films. He has got out of jail and finds he is about to be a father; he is hardly good father material. Well, things go from bad to worse for Tonny too, and he ends up in one unhappy experience after another. This is also a good movie. The Third movie is about the ganglord Milo, who is in all three movies. This is about an aging gangster who finds that he and his territory is being encroached upon; and he doesn't like it. It also involves his daughter's marriage, and we see Milo juggling his square world with his underworld, and a a drug addiction, and like a juggler he tries to manage all three; not too successfully as it stands. This is also a shocker, as you'll find out when you watch it!!! Not for the squeamish in any way!!! So, this sheds some new light on Denmark, but these are excellent films that transcend this little-known corner of Europe, and for my money rate as some of the best gangster/underworld dramas ever made.
