Original Title: 'Pusher'
Country: Denmark
Directed by: Nicolas Winding Refn
With: Mads Mikkelsen
Plot: A drug pusher grows increasingly desperate after a botched deal leaves him with a large debt to a ruthless drug lord.
Note: The scenes I enjoyed the most was when you get to see Frank simply hanging around with Tonny and his other acquaintances. This movie also reminded me of the time when I was a teenager spending most of my free time getting wasted on hashish and alcohol and, even if it might seem like a big waste, I actually had a great time. However, there was also a dark side and when one of my best buddies started to become a small time dealer and got some big debts, it even became really nasty. So, I could really identify myself with what happened in this movie. Still, from the moment Frank got involved with this drug deal, I pretty much knew everything what would happen afterwards and since it all became really predictable and rather generic, the whole thing was always watchable but it never became really amazing. Anyway, even if it was maybe not a masterpiece, it was still a really solid gritty crime thriller.

“Since I have seen all the Harry Potter movies, of course, I had to check this spin-off/prequel at some point. First of all, you have to give J. K. Rowling some credit to manage to bring us back into this universe but with a really different approach. Indeed, with this movie, you go 50 years before H” read more
