Special edition 4 disc boxed set with all 3 Pusher movies + bonus documentary!
This trilogy from Danish film director Nicolas Winding Refn stands as a masterful reinvention of international crime cinema, as poignantly human as it is brutally and viscerally realized.
This box set houses all three Pusher films Pusher; Pusher 2 – With Blood On My Hands and Pusher 3 – I'm The Angel Of Death. The bonus disc features the documentary Gambler, charting the directors own sensational trails in raising finances for each of the sequels.
PUSHER (1996): After a failed heroin deal, Frank finds himself hopelessly in debt to Miko, a brutal and ruthless Copenhagen drug baron.
PUSHER 2 (2004): Having just been released from prison, Tonny discovers that he has a child and a debt to his father, the most vicious gangster in Copenhagen.
PUSHER 3 (2005): After many years of heroin abuse, Miko discovers that his position as gangster No.1 in Copenhagen is threatened by the younger, ambitious of Arabs.
GAMBLER: Emerging master Nicolas Winding Refn found himself drowning in debt after the box-office failure of 2003’s FEAR X, so he decided to produce two sequels to his cult hit PUSHER. this documentary takes a painfully funny (and sometimes just painful) look at the treacherous balancing act between commerce and art.

Reviews
“Each film in Nicolas Winding Refn's mesmerizingly brutal Pusher trilogy can stand on its own, but it's fun to see all three and observe the way the bad guys in one become the sympathetic heroes (or anti-heroes) in another.” New York Magazine
“From the mean streets of Copenhagen—they evidently exist—comes the Pusher trilogy, a pungent dose of Denmark rot. Written and directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, this tough trio of underworld thrillers sticks so close to its rogues’ gallery of gangsters, suckers and murderous megalomaniacs that you can almost taste the hate and smell the stomach wounds. Given an appetite for grisly crime flicks, they make for a delectably nasty epic.” The New York Times
"Mads Mikkelsen is simply brilliant!” – BBC MOVIES
“It's the rare crime film that balances the vicarious thrill of rampant illegality with the real-world desperation of broken souls who are nearly always one wrong move away from a wretched end. Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn's "Pusher” trilogy are such movies." LA Times
