Watch Pusher II For Free

You won't be disappointed!

As Good As It Gets

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

After watching Pusher, there aren't many things left to be said. Or are there?Pusher II follows Tony (Mads Mikkelsen) after his release from prison. He tries to get a grip on reality, however, the old ways have their appeal and he slips back into his old lifestyle. It is left open whether Tony is simply confused or whether he has some permanent brain damage after being beaten by Frank (Kim Bodnia) in the first part. In any case, he proceeds with his ridiculous "Respect" tattoo on the back of his head.Tony discovers he has a child. The gangster lifestyle is depicted again with out any glamor leaving Tony to think about more than his own future.

I first saw Mads Mikkelsen in Flame and Citron, where he played Citron. I wasn't real impressed with the film, and I wasn't impressed when I saw him again in Pusher. He comes into his own here, as a man just out of prison trying to impress his gangster father. At the same time, he finds out he fathered a child, and now must learn how to be a daddy.I thought Tonny (Mikkelsen) was beat to death in Pusher. Apparently not, but he did sustain some brain damage.Frank (Kim Bodnia) and Vic (Laura Drasbæk) from Pusher would have made this film more interesting, but Mikkelson did turn in a good, if slow performance.

Tonny (Mads Mikkelsen), an habitual criminal, is released from prison and makes an attempt to get his act together. Unfortunately, he's become a father while incarcerated and his own old man (Dan Dommer) has virtually given up on him ever growing some balls and staying out of stir.Despite its nod to Hubert Selby Jr. and relentlessly bleak tone, PUSHER II is rather boring and pointless. It plays one note and provides little contrast. For a short subject, that would not be a problem. For a feature, which requires more layers, it's a definite deficit.The scene is which Tonny finally deals with his father is marginally fascinating. Tonny finds a little redemption before close of curtain and hits the road with a ray of hope and a little bundle of joy. Unfortunately, it's not enough to redeem the experience of suffering through so much Good Friday and little Easter Sunday.

I've seen Pusher II during the Thriller and Film Noir Film festival in Cognac. It was a shock at the end. When lights were on, people don't say a word. The last time I was so mute was at the end of "once were warriors". The violence in Pusher II is so realistic, so close, so terrifying for the future of all the characters than we really hope there will be something, even very little, happy at the end to help us to breath. The main character seems to be a bad guy but he's a loser, looking for the love of a father. All his past, aka his friends, family, etc... are lost. i've met the director, he said this a real look on a way of life in his country; but don't think it's just outside : this story can exists everywhere. Some sequences are like nightmare without sleeping. And for the hero, the last hope in his life is a baby, his son, but for what kind of life ? Incredible, powerful, beautiful, PUSHER II mixes all these feelings to be one of the best movie of this year, a movie which marks your spirit like hot steel.
