Pusher

Not a horror budget drug deal/ action movie 3 skulls for Mads
Less Mads Mikkelsen than expected (but it was cool), and not as stylised as Refn's later work. It's a neatly made and well-cast slice of gangster life.
like a low budget "uncut gems" with b grade acting.
Certainly not a horror, more of an action flick
This movie was really something else! Picked it randomly, trying to decide what to watch. Probably wouldn't sit right with most but it was a great take on realism. Saw a review making it a comparison to a "drug dealers diary". Thought that was pretty spot on. No over dramatized hollywood BS. I'll admit it feels like it can be rather slow at times but it really sets up for the ending/ sequels that follow
