Decent, but quite forgettable. A second flick from director Nicolas Winding Refn, as he gets all the old 'Pusher' gang back together: Kim Bodnia, Mads Mikkelsen and Zlatko Burić return onscreen together. The latter two are wasted, aside from some quips about cinema (I know Letterboxd ate that up!) and one aimless relationship subplot. I like what Bodnia provides as lead, even if his performance isn't too far adrift from what he gives in that aforementioned 1996 release. There is at least one scene involving an injection that will remain in my mind (not that it made the most sense, given the character's connection with the injecter's sibling but...). Aside from that though, I don't think 'Bleeder' offers all that much in my opinion. 6/10.
