Reviews

Console best movie i've ever seen.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
dragokin The third installment of Pusher trilogy follows Serbian drug lord Milo (Zlatko Burić) during preparations for his daughter's wedding. At the same time there are some business issues to tend to. The market for synthetic drugs is becoming more sophisticated than in the previous two movies, so Milo has to catch up with a whole new range of players.Nicolas Winding Refn stays dedicated to the documentary approach when filming Pusher 3. Although we're following a man who should be near the top of the food chains of narcotics, there is still little glamor in sight. Milo is capable of surmounting almost anything that befalls him, but the main question remains: Is there an end to this? Probably not, but he is still alive, implying there are thing he is doing right, after all.
Jorge Reyes I frequently visit the IMDb pages of movies I like. I've noticed that Pusher 3 normally oscillates between a 6,6 and 6,9 user rating (very rarely goes over 7). I personally gave it a 10.I have derived a conclusion. There is a wide gap between people who like this movie (in my opinion the best of the trilogy) and people who hate it.And I understand that the love-hate dichotomy can be explained by a simple fact: this movie is too violent. Picture two Yugoslav gangsters in the back of a restaurant, tying a rival to a chair and beginning the questioning with a plastic bag at hand. Then picture the same Yugoslavs (actually a Croat and a Montenegrin) at midnight in a dark basement looking where to plug an electric saw... This is not the typical popcorn movie of a Sunday afternoon.This is how I explain the relatively low rating: there are some who are rating this very high (8,9,10) while some others have left the theatre with an unsavoury taste and are voting accordingly.I liked Pusher 3 because of what the director recreated on the screen. The entire movie is dark in tone. After seeing Milo and his accomplice methodically dispose of two bodies, I felt like I needed to go outside and feel the fresh air, or listen to the current of a flowing river carrying crystalline water, the shades and aroma of green pines in the background.Pusher 3 is a depiction of hell on earth. The underground hell in flames where torture is inflicted by demons doesn't exist: hell is the back of a restaurant, hell is (maybe) the guy who sits next to you in a AA meeting.The movie left me with a bitter taste -and not just because of the violence. Like someone else has commented on this board, there are many unresolved issues (like the warning of the Police to Milo in case Kong of Copenhaguen went missing, or the reaction of Luan upon noticing that his associate Rexho is missing).Paradoxically I think that a proportion of the viewers are still sympathetic to Milo (despite killing at least three persons in the movie and committing a number of other crimes). His defendants will argue that he was under a lot of pressure: from Luan, from Rexho, from her own daughter... The same defendants might go as far as saying that he protected a Polish girl who had been abducted and brought clandestinely into Denmark.On the other hand the prosecutors will cite Milo's continued abuse of drugs, despite his commitments to end it and his visits to AA (or NA). Every time Milo takes drugs there is a before and an after eventually turning into his own Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. To the prosecutors, Milo is a ruthless monster, despite his caring for his daughter and his best intentions to please her.The one thing on which defendants and prosecutors may agree is that Milo is at a crossroads. His influence is waning and his Serbian gang is coming into direct collision with newcomers from also the Balkans (Albanians) and from the Maghreb. His own daughter wants a piece of his turf (if not all of it).
Christian H-N Pusher 3 only makes sense, if you have seen the two first ones. First of all, those are FUNNY MOVIES, it is not social realism.It is a combination of black humour and violent action. Everybody laughed at Milo and Frank in Pusher 1, where Frank had yet another problem, and Milo said with a heavy accent: Well Frankie, how many problems you really have, huh?Pusher 2 also had some good jokes in it. "Can't we just rob the shop? No my brother did that last week".But Pusher 3 has a totally different style. It starts out with Milo being very very stressed, and that stress-feeling works well in the movie. Then things start to slip out of Milos control. This plot can be made in many intelligent ways and hit some climaxes of various kinds. But it wasn't. It slowly loses energy until it reaches a very bloody and very long ending scene. Well, I have nothing against bloody endings, but they must be motivated by a good build-up, and in this case, it doesn't work. Especially when it is so long.However, the music / sound effects work great. There is an eerie feeling throughout the movie, but he could have spent 5 more minutes (the double amount of time) on writing the script.So my overall conclusion is: He ran out of ideas, but he had a deadline. I am not going to recommend this film to anybody, be warned against it!
Claus Reinhold Well, well, well. What can I say? Either you love this film or you hate it. I'm not going to write about the story - it's been done already I can see. All there is to say about this film is, that in my opinion, it's fantastic!!! Do NOT expect a high-octane action flick. You'll be very disappointed. It's more of a slow, quiet drama, with a main character that's SO fascinating, you can't take you're eyes off him. Zlatko Buric is so good in PUSHER 3. The end-scene/shot says it all - I can watch the film over and over again just for that scene/shot. The whole film is in that shot! Beautiful!The PUSHER-trilogy could not end better, than with PUSHER 3. So, just watch it, experience it, see it, hear it.
