Fresh out of prison, Tonny attempts to win the approval of his father Milo, a crime boss. Yet his impulsiveness and immaturity lead him from one failure to another. Confronted with unexpected fatherhood, he struggles between responsibility and self-destruction.
In Pusher 2, Refn examines masculinity and the longing for recognition within a criminal milieu. Maintaining the series' stark realism, he reveals unexpected emotional vulnerability beneath brutality. The result is perhaps the most intimate and human portrait of the trilogy.
