  1. Negative review
    Geoff Pevere, Globe and Mail Just stick to the original: Fate is always more fetching than formula. Full review External link
  2. Negative review
    Linda Barnard, Toronto Star The characters that populate Pusher are surprisingly nave and hardly the brightest of bulbs. So much for the image of the wily, street-smart criminal. Full review External link
  3. Negative review
    Tom Long, Detroit News The chief problem here is that Frank is neither likable nor very bright. For the most part, you're thinking, go ahead, bust his kneecaps. Full review External link
  4. Negative review
    Kyle Smith, New York Post Prieto does what he can to keep things roaring along, but the overall effect is not a lot more stimulating than your average diet cola. Full review External link
  5. Negative review
    Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post We're ... left to cheer someone simply because there's really no one else to root for. Full review External link
  6. Negative review
    Joel Arnold, NPR Pusher is some kind of tragedy, though not the one its filmmakers intended. Full review External link
  7. Negative review
    Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times The remake undercuts most everything that made the original distinctive, its tangy, pungent sense of low-lifes and their environment swept away for a glam, stylized world. Full review External link
