Pusher

About This Movie

Pusher is a gritty dive into Copenhagen's underbelly, directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. It follows Frank, a drug dealer who's really just trying to keep his head above water. The atmosphere is raw, almost claustrophobic, and the pacing has this frantic energy that mirrors Frank's growing desperation. The film's shot on the streets, using actual locations which gives it that authentic feel, and you can sense the weight of every decision Frank makes. The practical effects are solid, lending a harsh reality to the violence. Performances, especially from Mads Mikkelsen in a supporting role, feel unvarnished. It's all about the struggle, the moral decay, and that relentless pressure – definitely gives you something to think about.
