    the third film follows milo, the serbian crime lord, in dealing with his business and his family. the frightening character from the previous films is revealed to have problems of his own. he struggles with sobriety while things slowly spin out of control, culminating in a horr...( read more)ifically bloody scene that would never make it into an american film. all three highly recommended to fans of gangster and crime drama

    Finally able to finish the gritty crime trilogy, Pusher III doesn't have the nice and tidy ending but rather the kind that leaves you knowing this lifestyle will continue as long as there's money to be made from drug-trafficking. Here, we have the story of Milo, the crime kingpi...( read more)n prominent in part one and featured briefly in the second film. Starting off with Milo in rehab, the third film involves a drug deal gone awkward that soon turns into a downward spiral of bad situations. All this takes place within that wonderful concept; the 24-hour storyline .

    Another thing that's worthy of note is the film's attempt to present the story as a kind of cinema verite experience. There's an almost complete absence of a music score, except at absolutely pivotal moments of the film and even then is used sparingly along with hand held camera technique and natural lighting which give an "all too real" feeling that can make Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets seem like a nice place to raise children. The pace never lags, and the dynamics between the characters are all detailed. Zlatko Buric's performance as Milo is so natural, much like Paul Sorvino in Goodfellas, that it might be difficult to separate this role from other films I may see him in later. The third act in the film involving retribution may be difficult for some to sit through.

    The third (and probably final) part of Refn's Pusher trilogy focusses it's attentions on Milo, the drug lord from the first two instalments. Now at a ripe old age, and more or less a joke in the local crime community, Milo finds himself the day from hell in recieving a promised s...( read more)hipment of heroin as a massive batch of ecstasy, making food for his daughter's birthday party, preventing any mishaps with his short-tempered thugs, and his own addiction problems.
    Refn is once again in the visual zone, adding to Milo's frustration with some impressively long takes and marvellous colourisation. The violent acts of retribution are of course present, our protagonist's actions justified by the dog-eat-dog nature of his arse-end of Copenhagen. Though hardly as vital or striking as his debut, Pusher III is certainly worth watching, and the third act (concerning the effective imprisonment of a girl as sexual fodder for two vicious types) is excellent, dealing with the various moral shades of a grey in a violent world.

    Solid acting, familiar territory.

    This film will make you question what it physically means to be a human being.

    Pusher III is strong stuff indeed, and a great deal more successful than Pusher II, whilst still not nearly as effective as the first film. Concentrating on drug lord Milo, who was a secondary character in the first films, his is a gripping story that takes place ov...( read more)er the course of one day. Now aged and seemingly out of touch with the world, he's becoming a laughing stock with his 'pushers' and battling with his own addiction, whilst trying to ensure his (extremely spoilt) daughter's 25th birthday party is a big success. When a deal goes pear-shaped, Milo has to simultaneously 'help out' two would-be sex-slave traders and keep his daughter happy.

    I can't decide if this is a good film or not - it's certainly gripping, very well filmed and features an excellent lead performance from Zlatko Buric as the deluded Milo; it feels like he's gradually decaying with each passing minute. The shocking, genuinely sickening final act of violence is jolting and seems to reinforce the point that a criminal underworld rewards in the loss of soul, the loss of self. Not for the faint-hearted.

    The last movie in the "Pusher-trilogy" and the most brutal and bloodiest. The ending was really disgusting and turn your stomach up-side-down. I thought this last movie should pull all the strings together from the other two but it didn't, the movie leaves you with a lot of unans...( read more)wered question. What happened with Frank from P1? and with Tonny from P2?

    Not as ground-breaking as Pusher 1 & 2; but enjoyable nonetheless.
