Movie Review: Pusher

Pusher is labeled as "Denmark's reply to Trainspotting", which makes it sound interesting, but really... it's eh. It's not nearly as good as Trainspotting for one thing and there isn't any of the humor that Trainspotting succeeded with. There actually wasn't any humor at all. Not even all that much drama either. The big problem with this film is that it took a bunch of elements from other similar movies and brought nothing of it's own to the table. It is kind of like watching a (semi) low budget movie that tries to mix elements of Trainspotting, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and Lola Rent all in one. But like I said, it brought nothing new to the table. Not a terrible movie, but somewhat dissappointing if you are a fan of the type movies it was influenced by.
3 stars
