Even the popcorn looked bored during Drifter.

If Drifter was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, Drifter.

Hot Take: Drifter's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Director clearly thought Drifter was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Drifter?
Honestly, Drifter would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Drifter?
Rewatched Drifter last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Unpopular opinion: Drifter is the most overrated film of the decade
Just got out of Drifter and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
