Pusher is a 2012 crime thriller directed by Luis Prieto and written by Matthew Read. The film is a remake of a Danish film of the same name, which was directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. The remake stars Richard Coyle as Frank, a drug dealer who finds himself in a heap of trouble after a deal with a narcotics gang goes awry. Pusher is a tense and gritty crime thriller that unfolds over the course of one week in Frank's life, as he navigates the dangerous and unpredictable world of drug dealing in London. The film is a character study that explores Frank's desperation as he tries to save himself from the consequences of his actions.

Frank is a successful drug dealer who is known for his charm and his savvy business skills. He has a tight-knit group of confidantes who help him run his operation, including his best friend Tony (Bronson Webb). Frank's life takes a sharp turn when a deal with a Serbian drug lord goes wrong, and he finds himself owing a large sum of money that he can't pay back.

As Frank tries to come up with the money to pay off his debt, he is forced to turn to increasingly risky tactics, including stealing from a rival gang and trying to sell a stolen batch of drugs. Along the way, he discovers that his supposed allies are not as loyal as he had thought, and he finds himself trapped in a web of deceit and betrayal.

The film is shot in a gritty, realistic style that lends an air of authenticity to the story. The camera follows Frank as he goes about his business, capturing the sights and sounds of the city streets and the world of drug dealing. The tension builds steadily throughout the film, as the audience wonders if Frank will be able to extricate himself from the mess he has created.

Richard Coyle delivers a standout performance as Frank. He imbues the character with a sense of desperation and vulnerability that makes the audience sympathize with him even as he makes increasingly bad decisions. Coyle's performance is complemented by strong supporting roles from Bronson Webb as Tony, Frank's best friend, and Agyness Deyn as Flo, a stripper who gets caught up in Frank's troubles.

Overall, Pusher is an intense and well-crafted crime thriller that will keep audiences on the edge of their seats. The film's strong performances and realistic visual style make it one of the best crime dramas of recent years.

Pusher is a 2012 crime movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 27 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.5 and a MetaScore of 52.
