Edinburgh film festival trailer: Pusher

Published on 20/06/2012 17:38

A London drugs dealer finds himself on the wrong side of a ruthless Mr Big when a massive deal goes disastrously wrong in Luis Prieto’s striking, energetic remake of the 1996 feature that propelled Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson, Drive) into the international spotlight.

Revolving around an outstanding lead performance from Richard Coyle (also seen in this year’s Grabbers), the break-neck action underpinned by an atmospheric and rousing original score by Orbital, this is sharp, fast-paced, gripping crime cinema at its very best.

• Pusher is screening at Cineworld on Thursday (21 June) at 8.20pm and on Friday (22 June) at 9.15pm. More info on the EIFF website
