Writers: Jens Dahl, Nicolas Winding Refn
Cast: Kim Bodnia, Zlatko Buric, Laura Drasbaek, Mads Mikkelsen
Language: Danish
A drug pusher grows increasingly desperate after a botched deal leaves him with a large debt to a ruthless drug lord.
It is Nicolas Winding Refn's debut feature and even though the plot sounds cliched, the way it is shot and the realistic nature of it makes it unique. While most films involving drug dealing involves with either top level guys or street level guys, this film is about a mid level pusher. The story is set over a week's time and the film really ends well making us wonder what his next step gonna be. It could have been made even more ambiguous by not showing what other characters are up to. That is the only shot in the film which does not involve Frank played by Kim Bodnia.
Didn't realize till late into the film that the skinhead character Tonny is played by the wonderful actor Mads Mikkelsen.
Rating: 4/5
