Pusher (2012) ***1/2

A very solid remake. Not quite as good as the original, which had a more loose, gritty style, but this is a great slick, modern update. It actually feels like Drive-era Refn directed it at times (though he just produced it) because of the cinematography and choice of shots, music, etc. Speaking of, the soundtrack by Orbital is fantastic. And the Blu-ray image quality is excellent. I would give this film ****, if it were an original film, but it didn't stray from the original at all (even down to using one of the same actors in the same role).
