A small-time London drug dealer (Richard Coyle) grows increasingly desperate as he scrambles to pay his supplier back for an ill-advised loan.

It is well acted. It turns the same old, same old gangster thriller screws, but with a fine eye for tension and keeping the audience emotionally involved.

Just stick to the original: Fate is always more fetching than formula.

2/4

The characters that populate Pusher are surprisingly naïve and hardly the brightest of bulbs. So much for the image of the wily, street-smart criminal.

What was edgy and exciting in the mid-1990s now fails to deliver the same buzz.

C-

There are far too many scenes of macho posturing, and not enough character development to make us feel for anyone's plight.

Drug dealing in the London streets never looked so fanciful and glam rock as it does here, and when it comes time for the violent stripe of degradation to rear its head, there's no bite, no tension, and no feeling.

Doesn't even come close to the original. It missed the mark by a mile. Unless you're one of those "I don't like subtitled movies because I get can't read and watch it at the same time" people, just stick to the original film. If you have seen the original, don't waste your time on this one because you will most certainly be disappointed. On that note, don't just watch the original movie. Watch all three. I promise you won't be disappointed by any of them.
