if u seen the 1st 2 pusher movies, u get a sence of the main character in this film. u know he's a bad guy, and that he doesnt play around when it comes to his money and product. but i must say this was the most interresting movie to watch out of all 3. why?? because the movie was soley based on the boss. theres not really alot of movies that the main character is the bad guy. in a strange way i was kind of rooting for him, when he comes across the other low lives in his territory, especially the kidnappers. but evry scene with this guy was grabbing my attention because he gives a kind of performance that u can believe he really is this character in real life.

Milo is a Serbian godfather in Copenhagen but, unlike Al Pacino, he has to take care of everything if he wants the job to be done. So, during the same night, he must cook for 40 guests invited by his daughter, settle a deal gone wrong, make disappear two corpses and attend reunions in order not to take drugs again. If he wasn't a criminal, we would certainly feel some empathy for him. Masterpiece.

Milo( Zlatko Buri') is a beloved father and regular meetings of Narcotics Anonymous. He is really worried about his daughter's birthday.

But when a drug distribution negotiation gets out of control, Milo is wrapped in a sordid game of victim-victimizer. And for the welfare of his family only has one night to clear this whole bloody mess.

It is a volatile film full of graphic violence all possible, but done with great pulse, nervous camera work, within the mainstream of cinema-verité.

A cult film from 2005. Don't miss the last Op of this magnificent Trylogy.

I absolutely loved the first two movies in the Pusher trilogy, but it looks like I'll be the lone dissenter on Amazon in my review of the third.

Milo, played by the talented Zlatko Buric, become one of my favorite bad guys in film with the original Pusher movie. What I loved about Milo in the first movie was that on the surface he was friendly and charismatic, but with a real sense of danger just beneath the surface. In Pusher III, Milo's a bit softer, more vulnerable and simply less frightening.

I thought the use of gore in the film was overdone and unnecessary, it didn't add anything of value to the movie. I also felt that Milo's descent was too much of a parallel to that of Ray Liotta's character in Goodfellas, the day he has to juggle multiple tasks while coked out of his mind.

What I do give the credit for is giving Zlatko Buric a bit more to work with as a rounded character (even if it's not my cup of tea), and an exploration of the unrelenting grasp that crime bosses must keep on their business.

Most people who watched the first two movies in the trilogy seem to love this film, so you should definitely give it a watch. Even though I'm a fan of Buric's work, and think Milo is a terrific character, I could have honestly done without this movie. It's good, but the plot just didn't move me, I would have given it more stars had the concept been more original.
