"Cole, a petty scammer who skims people's security credentials from unsecured wifi networks and empties their bank accounts, finds himself in a dangerous situation when Oscar, a hoodlum, discovers his activities."
"The film unfolds through three heists: the initial score with Oscar, Cole's attempt to reclaim the stolen money, and the final twist where Cole and Sarah turn the tables on the threatening lawyer."
"Director Rebecca Thomas creates a brisk neo-noir atmosphere, but the film lacks character depth, failing to fully develop the intriguing figure of the solitary hacker."
"Despite its shortcomings in psychological bite, Wardriver's portrayal of a venal demi-monde and solid performances, particularly from DeHaan and Athie, contribute to its engaging narrative."
