Trivia

There are no popular artists on the soundtrack, because Nicolas Winding Refn wanted "Real underground music" to fit the feel of the movie. So he made "Pusher II Soundtrack Hunt" (in collaboration with GAFFA and Mymusic.dk), a music contest where unsigned bands and solo artists could send in a sample, which Refn then could choose from. A total of 622 samples were sent in. Peter Peter (who also scored Pusher (1996)) also wrote music for the film, which is preformed by 'The Bleeder Group'. The soundtrack was released 13 December 2004 and was produced by Universal Music.

User Reviews

Worth viewing

This movie - like Pusher - has a really unique atmosphere. There is something completely mesmerizing about it. Even though it has little action it is interesting and intense. The main character is a criminal who is struggling with himself and those around him. He wants his crime boss father to love him, to respect him. In order to accomplish this he has to prove himself as a hardworking criminal. As a viewer we want to see if he succeeds as a criminal and earns the respect from his father, or if cuts ties with the criminal environment he has been in for so long.

I gave it 7/10 stars.
