As drug lord Milo struggles to prepare his daughter’s 25th birthday party, his business proves equally challenging when a shipment of ecstasy arrives instead of heroin. Forced to work with a new drug he knows little about, he must find a way to maintain his dominance atop the Copenhagen underworld.

Nicolas Winding Refn saves the best for last. Set over a single night, the focus shifts to drug baron Milo—another Pusher antihero up against the clock. Refn keeps multiple plates spinning and anxiety levels off the scale, while foraging for bloodied scraps of humanity among the moral ruins.
