Pusher II
Hannibald Lecter 👩🏻🦲
———Spoilers/Review———
Cool intro is back.
What kind of a porn flick did this devolve into? The first Pusher talked about a lot of sexual stuff, this one just straight up shows it.
That scene with the two prostitutes went on for way too long. Like damn, we get it, Tonny can't get a hard-on.
The first one was gritty and very tense. This one just didn't hit the same. The film felt like i was following the life of a side character from GTA IV. The movie was also just plain gross at times. Like why would anyone bring a kid and a baby to a stripper wedding party?
The movie felt like a waste of time. I didn't really get anything from it. I guess the message was, "Don't end up like Tonny."
Though, Mads was great once again and did a good job making Tonny seem like a loser. He had "Respect" tattooed on the back of his head, but didn't get any.
I'll also say that both Pusher movies so far have been very realistic and believable. Nicolas Winding Refn is a great director.
The final portion had a sliver of a genuinely great and entertaining plot when Tonny decided to step up and kill Smeden, aka "The Duke". But, for the most part, i didn't like this movie, and this time I'll just say it.
**
In conclusion: MID.**
