Milo (Zlatko Buric) is a drug dealer and recovering addict who's slowly coming unraveled. While trying to prepare for his daughter Milena's (Marinela Dekic) birthday party, he discovers the shipment of heroin he was expecting is actually Ecstasy. Milo gives the pills to small-fry dealer Mohammed (Ilyas Agac) and, as the party begins, starts using narcotics again. Things go from bad to worse when Mohammad doesn't return, and Milo's Albanian connection demands payment for the Ecstasy.

Expands [the trilogy's] overarching vision of underworld nastiness, the universal yearning for escape, and the cruel hand of fate. Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 11/02/2006
3/5
If Pusher III is the trilogy's least effective, that may be because the soured-deal plot line is by now a given, and its theme is the simplest. Go to Full Review Noel Murray AV Club 08/25/2006

For all the black comedy, and catharsis, in the script, there is still a fiendish evil lurking behind the story. Go to Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy 09/18/2011

Pushes the admittedly tiny "life and times of bedraggled men in the drug industry" subgenre to a place that it had never before gone and will likely not return. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 03/05/2009

Ian R Sep 5 Despite some very good acting, this movie is horrid. If you feel like watching a bunch of characters who can't do anything without being criminals then this might be worth watching. I found myself agreeing with the critic who described the film as nasty. Like the first two films in the trilogy, it has a terrible feeling of hopelessness about it. See more Benjamin H Aug 15 While Zlatko Buric's performance as Milo and his respective character work is amazing, as is the style and grit Nicolas Winding Refn infuses into this, Pusher III is more stale and uneventful from a story perspective and i didn't think the respective characters beside Milo added much overall. See more R 9 09/25/2023 Weakest of the three, for me. For large portions of 'Pusher 3' I was not truly feeling it as it was giving major 6/10 vibes, yet by the time it's gut-wrenching (pardon the pun?) final few scenes had concluded I actually wasn't unhappy with what I had just sat through. As noted, I do believe it's below the original two flicks but it kinda works still. The major reason for that is Zlatko Burić. I'm not sure what it is about his (relatively low-key) acting but I just really enjoy watching him perform. He's solid enough in the 1996 and 2004 flicks and I like him in 2012, so finally getting to see him in a lead role I was actually unsure if he was lead worthy - but he is, just about. Burić kept my interest in the film alive, that's a fact. I see he later 'reprised' the role of Milo in the 2012 remake... weirdly. I'll have to check it out one day. The rest of the film doesn't spring any major thoughts into my head, if I'm truthful. I will not forget that final act though - they sure went there! See more colin m 02/09/2022 (The Pusher Trilogy, Part 3) Slice of life of a pusher. See more ari v 03/19/2021 My favorite of the series, but probably wouldn't work nearly as well without the first one. See more 06/15/2020 The weakest of the trilogy in part because the story of a crime lord is less interesting than the ones of the "street". Sopranos did it first. Winding Refn love for blood and violence is more in display here. See more Read all reviews
