      R 9 'Pusher II' improves upon its predecessor, if only by a little. I found this 2004 flick to be comparatively more pleasant to watch, not in terms of a lack of violence or anything (there's plenty!) but more so just as a film in general - it feels more well made and a bit more progressive story-wise. It's still nothing perfect or anything that enthralled me at all, but I definitely class it highly (albeit minorly) than 'Pusher'. I would've preferred a sequel that followed up with Kim Bodnia's Frank, at least character-wise anyway as actor-wise Mads Mikkelsen is the one I'd prefer to watch instead. Mikkelsen puts in a good performance, 8 years on from his acting debut in the original. Away from Mads, Leif Sylvester Petersen is probably the standout - though all the support cast are pretty much level with each other to be honest. I'm interested to see where the third and final flick from this series goes, given Mads Mikkelsen's absence and, from what I gather from the tiniest of look-ups out of pure nosiness, Kim Bodnia's continued disappearance. Viaplay recommended 'Pusher 3' at the end of this film and their promo image features Zlatko Burić, so I know he makes it a hat-trick of appearances at least. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Ravenswood R Does not create the tension and insanity of the first film. This is looser and less plot and story driven. More of a character study of a guy who is drugged up, misguided, confused, stupid, and violent. The parts are good but don't add up to the impact of the whole of the first film. Harsher and even more repulsive than the first one, if that counts for anything. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review Danyelle M one of my favorite movies the way this is done even in a simple way the movie remains wonderful Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Way less of a thrilling, exciting, fast-paced run compared to the first one, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's much more mature, emotional, and gut-wrenching. A great sequel to an already incredible film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Bruce K Excellent movie. Definitely get to know more of Tonny and his life. I would say it is pretty realistic in its world of drug dealing and the people involved even though they seem to have it on hand at all times and no shortage. But movie is worth the watch. Highly recommend it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/22 Full Review claudiu s A blast of a movie just like the first one. Frank from the first movie was a great character whose absence was felt in this movie, but the likes of characters such as Tonny, Milo, and the other new recurring stars made the film phenomenal. A young Mads Mikkelsen proves his brilliance again through the surface of Tonny, who we can get a deeper look at in this movie. The ending was a perfect conclusion to the story, just like in the first part. The two parts were 10/10 so far and the characters introduced in these movies are among the greatest in cinematography.

      Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Doesn't so much carve out new ground as merely provide jolt after electric jolt. Rated: B+ Jun 9, 2011 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times In Refn's skilled street-realist hands, the child becomes a potent, wailing metaphor for Tonny's own dilemma of rudderless need. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 2, 2006 Full Review Noel Murray AV Club Works best when it's dwelling on the disconnect between Mikkelsen's lurid imagination and his disappointing reality. Rated: B Aug 25, 2006 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore Mads Mikkelsen shines in this portrait of a criminal whose world is falling apart, and who sees only one way out of his tortured world: saving the life of an innocent. Rated: 5/5 May 4, 2019 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Mikkelsen anchors the film with a tremendous presence that sells even the most soap-operatic moments with a lacerating clenched-teeth honesty. Rated: 7/10 Sep 18, 2011 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews An ugly urban story not meant for the genteel. Rated: B+ Jan 9, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews
