Review of Pusher III

Pusher III (2005)
4/10
The Sordid Life of a Drug Dealer in Denmark
6 April 2024
This film follows a drug dealer by the name of "Milo" (Zlatco Buric) who was an addict at one time but, within the last week, has decided to kick his habit and go sober. To that effect, he attends group therapy to help him in this endeavor. One major problem is that his connections--along with his close proximity to illegal drugs--makes dealing with the temptation of using narcotics much more difficult. Throw in the fact that he is actively sponsoring the birthday party for his 25-year-old daughter "Milena" (Marinela Dekic) and the pressure is almost more than any person can handle. That being said, when a drug deal he is actively engaged in goes bad, things really take a turn for the worse from that point on. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this film started off well enough, but it started to focus too heavily on some rather sordid details in the last 20 minutes or so--which slowed everything down at that point. Likewise, the ending was much too abrupt and left a number of key questions completely unanswered as well. At least, that's the way it seemed to me. Be that as it may, while I applaud the production of this film on such a limited budget, I didn't particularly care for this movie, and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
