Summary: In his debut as director, Nikolas Winding Refn has hit the nail on the head with this thrilling story of math gone wrong in the worst case scenario in the life of a pusher. It became quickly a cult movie in Scandinavia, with its unpredicable plot and chillingly credible performances of lead actors Kim Bodnia and Zlatko Buric. Exciting to the very end of the increasingly more and more desperate measures of Frank (Kim Bodnia) to break even of the money he owns to ex-Yugoslav kingpin (Zlatko Buric). Will he make it, or will he reap what he has sown? With a great soundtrack matched with a kind of close-to-reality feeling only found in European film, this is the kind of cult classic which hammers Hollywood to the ground! A cornerstone!
