Geoff Pevere, Globe and MailJust stick to the original: Fate is always more fetching than formula.

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.

Tom Long, Detroit News

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.

Pusher is some kind of tragedy, though not the one its filmmakers intended.

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.
