3/4

This slick femme fatale thriller from director Rebecca Thomas finds DeHaan in fine form and and features a screenplay from Daniel Casey that’s lined with surprises.

8/10

By turns graceful and clumsy, [DeHaan]'s a terrific lead and holds things together like rebar.

3/5

James Brown once advised Eddie Murphy to remove his money from the bank and bury it in his backyard to keep the government from taking it. "Wardriver" will make you nervous but stops short of compelling you to drain your bank accounts and bury the money.

A committed Dane DeHaan elevates this mostly conventional crime thriller.

The endeavor loses a lot of potency as it unfolds, but Casey and Thomas get halfway there with the film, generating proper mood and threat before most of it melts away.

3/5

Moody, mysterious, and metaphorical, director Rebecca Thomas' thriller blends neo noir elements with a modern-day crime to expose a timeless emotional vulnerability: loneliness.

American films have improved these past three years.. 'Last Straw' (2023) brought back the magic of American indie films. 'Crime 101' (2026) was brilliant with an epic ending. 'Wardriver' (2026) carry the similar confidence as 'Crime 101' good acting + directing, However 'Wardriver' becomes too unbelievable at the 2nd fight scene. Early in the film the main character "12 year old looking" nerdy hacker (Dane Dehaan) is beat by ex-pro kickboxer felon (Mamoudou Athie) who threatens more brute force unless Dehaan hacks a bank account. Later Dehaan catches corrupt attorney's (Jeffrey Donovan) bodyguard, ex-con thug (William Belleau) breaking in to Dehaan's home, unarmed Dehaan assaults the armed bodyguard with a bat followed by punches then pistol whips the much larger bodyguard till he's unconscious 😳🙄 The scrawny hacker then drags & throws the heavy man in the trunk, drives somewhere secluded, fires a "scare shot" -- Why director wanted this totally unrealistic fight scene is beyond me

Masterfully directed and acted. Dehaan was meant to become way greater actor than he actually became. Very well wrote story, consistent solid and engaging

Hands down the best crime thriller since No Country for Old Men. This film had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish, with superb acting across the board. The music and cinematography work together beautifully to convey the story, emotions, and even the inner thoughts of the characters. This is a movie best experienced going in blind. Skip the trailers and summaries. Trust me, it’s worth it. Without giving away spoilers, I’ll just say this: the film is incredibly smart. It drops subtle clues along the way that hint at what’s happening, and while you may start to piece things together, that’s clearly part of the experience the director intended. Even if you miss some of those details, the story remains just as compelling. Absolutely phenomenal! An easy 5 out of 5.
