The Pusher Trilogy


This is one of the best things to come out of Denmark. Writer director Nicholas Winding Refn does a great job of showing the world of crime and drugs , in a totally DE-GLAMOURIZED way.

Pusher- Follows Frank, and his wannabe cool sidekick Tonny. It shows a drug deal gone wrong, the racing and running from the dealer he owes, the cops who follow, and all the mishaps along the way.

Pusher II~With Blood On My Hands - picks up with Tonny , and all his bumbling mishaps after being released from prison. His efforts to win love and affection from the one person he fears, and the responsibility of facing his fears.

Pusher III~I'm The Angel Of Death - Picks up with the Drug kingpin Milo, his continuing dealing, dealing with cooking (which he does badly) for his daughters wedding..and some mishaps and hi jinks along the way.

I think you will find these characters and stories quite engrossing. Not always likable. But you will watch.
