Highly Overrated But Still Good

A Major Disappointment

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

This turned out to be a perfect end to Refn's fabulous Pusher trilogy. What is amazing is how the mundane aspects of our lead's life are seamlessly mingled in with a cyclopean disaster that is part and parcel with his vocation. In fact, it is the tedium that we are exposed to that amplifies the tragedies in a way that cannot but lead to a gut-punched effect. The acting was spectacular, especially since many were not actors per say, with a few real-life criminals thrown in for spice. The dialog was not witty but perfectly chunky, showing the actualities of a cosmopolitan city with its many differing ethnicities and languages. The story was of a day turned foul, with familial obligations at loggerheads with a business deal gone awry. The result is no bueno. The score was utilized to perfection, especially when used to underscore a decision that would fuel the spectacular denouement. Genruk' Evil Eye Reviews

perhaps not, yes without doubt Milo character went undeveloped so one whole a better alternative from the beginning release this story for that in a TV-show followup-development. Still think pusher 3 shows very dramatically a criminal culture aspect of the deep fears running thru Milo's head. mixture of feelings about this last of (3)triology,crappy script;low tempo no surprising movie tricky moments.Guess it better could fit more into a TV-drama release instead of a fully blown movie. anyway, 9 stars for Milo. Im not in favor of trying to make a comparison to the films before, all of them have their type of message, and thats what i intend to look for.

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!

Can someone please explain how the open endings are the 'significance' of the films?...I think someone doesn't know what they're talking about!...And pleeease, how can you possibly suggest a pusher 4? the idea of another open ended, unfinished film is completely insane. The fact is, Nicolas clearly can't come up with any conclusions about his characters; leaving the story to the audience?...pull the other one! And to think they're doing a UK release of the whole trilogy in June, we sooo don't need that! I supposed those of you needing subtitles in English will be satisfied, but if you ask me, you were better off without the translation.
