Review of Pusher (1996) by Abigail G — 05 Jun 2007
A very gritty, raw and tense action film. It is one of the most ultimate versions of the "drug deal gone wrong" story that I've ever seen. The characters are believable and pretty screwed up.
At times you just can't believe how incredibly bad things have gotten for the protagonist Frank, and yet you are compelled to keep watching to see what happens to him next. It is quite violent and also sexually explicit jokes and dialogue.
The moving camera shots on the street add to the realism and escalate the tension. This is the first part of the PUSHER trilogy. Favorite scene: The drug deal with the Swede.
