Leave your thoughts about Pusher.
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumBest part: Colorful Croatian-Danish actor Zlatko Buri´ reprises his role as the jovially menacing foreign heavy out to collect his dough. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIf we haven't caught on from earlier films that drug pushing is a thankless persuasion, maybe this is the movie that will pound in the lesson. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasLuis Prieto's remake capably mimics the original's breakneck energy without adding a single thing. It seems to exist mostly to stuff more violence into Britain's insatiable maw for crime pictures. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisThere's an ugly, jittery beauty to Pusher, a very fine British redo of a 1996 Danish movie of the same title. |
| Daily StarAndy LeaThe most original British gangster flick in years. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfPrieto treats the experience like a music video, with superfluous visual ornamentation getting in the way of gritty suspense. Pusher is a sound and light show that should have its power strip unplugged. |
| HeyUGuysBen MortimerPusher is an exciting, visceral and utterly compelling film! |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonPusher has a neon-lit nervy energy -- at once slick and grungy -- and the sort of unabashed, screw-tightening rhythms that genre enthusiasts will embrace. |
| ScreenAnarchyScott WeinbergA fast-paced, slam-bang-ish, and tightly-coiled neo-noir. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe Pusher remake may not have the full flavour of the original, but it makes brutally clear how the economics of drugs make paranoia and violence a fact of life. |
