‘Wardriver’ Review: Dane DeHaan (Sort of) Makes this Crime Thriller a Less Bumpy Ride

Okay, let’s talk about the premise of this film. For those who don’t know, a ‘wardriver’ is basically someone who drives around trying to steal Wi-Fi signals – not exactly a thrilling visual concept, right? It’s mostly just…sitting in a car with a laptop. The director, Thomas – you might recognize his work from an episode of Stranger Things – smartly avoids this by focusing intensely on close-ups of our hacker, Cole, played by Dane DeHaan. It’s a way to build tension and keep things visually interesting when the actual activity is, frankly, a bit mundane.
