REVIEW: “Wardriver” (2026)

Rebecca Thomas’ film, “Wardriver,” starts with a deliberately slow burn. It’s a crime thriller that takes a while to build momentum, with the first half largely focused on the protagonist, Cole, driving around Salt Lake City while engaging in somewhat mundane activities like typing, eating lollipops, and vaping. Despite this slow pace, the script by Daniel Casey effectively establishes Cole’s isolated and lonely life, though it doesn’t immediately create a lot of dramatic tension.
