Busca a su padre, Smeden, un terrirñifico gángster de los bajos de Copenhague, quien dirige un garaje de coches robados para luego exportarlos. Habiéndose asegurado que tiene las cosas hechas adecuadamente, Smeden le deja trabajar probando como ladrón de coches. Tonny está ansioso por demostrar a su padre que es capaz de hacer lo que le pide, cuanto más lo intenta, peor parado sale, hasta que finalmente se encuentra a si mismo inmerso en una deuda con su padre que no es capaz de pagarle.

It’s been a really long time since I saw the first part of The Pusher, so I said to myself it would be a good idea to watch the remaining parts so that the entire trilogy could gradually conclude. Well and the second part focuses on a pretty stupid character, who is portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen. And since we all already know that Mads is a great actor, you can bet that he sure had a lot fun with this one. The entire movie is built on him and thanks to him it is genius. No more words are necessary. Simply watch it and see for yourselves. It’s been a long time since I saw a movie that would stand or fall with a single character like it does in this case.

En la primera nos fijamos en el personaje secundario Mads Mikkelsen que Refn en la segunda desarrolla en profundidad. Relación clave con el padre, relación problemática con mujeres. Y la omnipresente coca, el crimen y los mafiosos. De los demás personajes de la primera, solo aparecen algunos y solo por un momento para conectar las historias. La primera era una película de crimen mafioso, la segunda es un drama social en un ambiente mafioso. Impactante y psicológicamente punzante, en la mejor tradición escandinava.

Where Frank was always doing something in the first part (meaning actively getting in trouble), in the second part, Tony goes through life without much a do, because he’s such a waste that he wouldn’t even try to do anything. Once again, Refn’s look into the gutters of society feels extraordinarily authentic, to the point that it was almost unpleasant to watch that existence. The ending is impressive.

The second Pusher stands out for its greater passivity – Mikkelsen's Tonny was already in the flow of events and "patterns" in the first film. This becomes fatal to him in a story imbued with a certain perverted junkie "Oedipism". Mads is fascinating, locked within himself and heading for the final tragic gesture of purity amidst the filth. Tragic because it's a gesture that leads nowhere – there's no escape. In this sense, more radical and closed than the first film, which seemed to be moving away from the hopelessness a little after all.

Refn's anti-hero is willing to do anything to survive, but he certainly is not a drug dealer. More like a petty criminal, a car thief with a little bit of luck. He's unnecessarily impulsive, unbalanced, weak, and helpless, and without life perspectives and emotional support. Refn's work is mainly associated with the title Drive, which is an atmospheric overseas thriller with a mysterious and invincible hero. This film represents its nonchalant European counterpart, but surprisingly, in my eyes, it is a bit better. It is, so to speak, true to life. This unadorned and unromantic image of the gallery is much more convincing. Additionally, Refn has the virtuoso actor Mads Mikkelsen at his disposal, who is a chameleon in his roles. I have had the opportunity to see him in costume roles, as an elegant gentleman or as a devilish Bond villain. Now I watched him as a tattooed thug with a sense for choosing the worst possible solutions. Overall impression: 70%.

Mads Mikkelsen rocks again. This time he's here as the biggest bum, lackey and fool, and yet he wins you over. Unlike Frank from the first Pusher, who everything depended on, Tonny just sits back passively, trying make some money. Overall, it's a slightly weaker sequel, but the ending is much stronger and really improves the overall impression.

Compared to the first one, there are stronger social themes (whether it's the complicated relationship with the father or the overall complicated "personal rehabilitation" after returning from prison) and the main character is not as easy to read as in the first one. Because of these differences, Refn broaches a much more powerful social drama, with mafia activities playing second fiddle. In fact, it is not the desire for mammon itself that is at the forefront, but rather a deep personal need for recognition from immediate family.
