Pusher III (2005)

The third and last Pusher film takes the grim and brutal to the next level. The previous films far from glorified the drug dealer lifestyle, but they still had some elements of fun and humor. This one in considerably darker as we focus on Milo and his general high stress levels of having to deal with all the problems of being at the top of this sort of business. We also explore grimmer aspects of the criminal underworld with a depiction of sex trafficking and the general complete lack of humanism and empathy. Milo is a ruined person and he knows it. He tries to be a good father on his daughters birthday, but it is mostly just money he can bring.
