The characters that populate Pusher are surprisingly naive and hardly the brightest of bulbs. So much for the image of the wily, street-smart criminal.
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star

The chief problem here is that Frank is neither likable nor very bright. For the most part, you're thinking, go ahead, bust his kneecaps.
Tom Long, Detroit News

Prieto does what he can to keep things roaring along, but the overall effect is not a lot more stimulating than your average diet cola.

We're ... left to cheer someone simply because there's really no one else to root for.
