Frank is a heroin dealer in Copenhagen. When he decides to up the ante, Frank goes to Milo, a drug lord – except he doesn’t have enough money to pay for the heroin. So Milo agrees to front him the goods as long as he repays immediately. But when the police arrive, Frank has to ditch the drugs, and he must find a way to repay Milo if he wants to live.
« There's something rotten in Denmark, as Mean Streets. meets Goodfellas in Copenhagen. This striking, powerfully gritty tale about a week in the life of a drug dealer is still well worth seeing. A promising debut. » (Total Film)
« Begins as a fairly standard ’90s crime saga, almost an open imitation of Quentin Tarantino... But something happens on the way to the film’s haunting and ambiguous conclusion. » (Salon)
« As botched-drug-deal tales go, Pusher digs surprisingly deep – its surface clichés give way to an existential despair that finally swallows the movie whole. » (Village Voice)
