Outstanding movie

Pusher II follows Tony after he is released from prison. Everyone seems to think he is a retarded bum. As the movie develops, it starts to turn out that Tony is much more than that. Tony evolves into an anti-hero, and you definitely get sucked into his character.

Pusher II is anything but a follow-up to Pusher I. As said in previous reviews, it's a film 'on it's own'. Frank from Pusher I is only mentioned briefly. A small appearance of Milo from Pusher I is also in place.

This is a great film with a lot of depth in the Tony character. It's flawlessly acted and the cinematography is gritty, just right for this kind of movie.

If you liked Pusher I, you'll like Pusher II. Pusher 3 is also coming shortly....
