Weakest of the three, for me.

For large portions of 'Pusher 3' I was not truly feeling it as it was giving major 6/10 vibes, yet by the time it's gut-wrenching (pardon the pun?) final few scenes had concluded I actually wasn't unhappy with what I had just sat through. As noted, I do believe it's below the original two flicks but it kinda works still.

The major reason for that is Zlatko Burić. I'm not sure what it is about his (relatively low-key) acting but I just really enjoy watching him perform. He's solid enough in the 1996 and 2004 flicks and I like him in 2012, so finally getting to see him in a lead role I was actually unsure if he was lead worthy - but he is, just about. Burić kept my interest in the film alive, that's a fact. I see he later 'reprised' the role of Milo in the 2012 remake... weirdly. I'll have to check it out one day.

The rest of the film doesn't spring any major thoughts into my head, if I'm truthful. I will not forget that final act though - they sure went there!
