Where to Watch Pusher II
- Burnharm3 juli 2026Like the first *Pusher*, this sequel has a magnetic quality. Once you're pulled into its world, it's difficult to escape. The film traps you in Tonny's perspective, making you feel every bad decision, every failed attempt to earn respect, and every moment of desperation. What sets *Pusher II* apart is its emotional core. While it keeps the raw, documentary-like realism of the original, it builds much stronger empathy for its protagonist. Mads Mikkelsen gives a remarkably natural performance, making Tonny feel less like a typical criminal and more like someone desperately searching for approval and a chance to become a better person. I'm still not sure whether it's better than the first film. The original feels more immediate and relentless, while *Pusher II* is more reflective and character-driven. Rather than trying to outdo its predecessor, it expands the same world from a different perspective, proving that the trilogy isn't really about crime as much as it is about people trapped by their own circumstances. Whether it's the stronger film is difficult to say, but it's every bit as compelling, and once again Nicolas Winding Refn creates a world that feels painfully authentic.

Samtidigt som han själv har blivit pappa har han fått en skuld till sin far Smeden, den mest fruktade gangstern på Amager. PUSHER 2 är berättelsen om Tonny, en kriminell looser från Köpenhamns undre värld som precis har muckat från fängelset. Han måste nu vänja sig vid papparollen och det gäller för honom att försöka få kontroll över sitt liv. Det finns inget han eftersträvar mer än sin fars, storgangstern Smedens, respekt. Men ju hårdare han försöker, desto fler problem får han och plötsligt sitter han där med en skuld till sin far som han inte kan betala … Åtta år efter sin banbrytande och legendariska debutfilm Pusher från 1996, har Nicolas Winding Refn skapat en fortsättning som är lika hård, ännu råare och mer än dubbelt så intensiv!
