Shot with a process that transforms every image into trippy infrared footage, the plot follows a hitman named Bo who must take out an evil boss. The film focuses on pure visual and sonic sensations rather than a traditional narrative, with scenes that mock the gamer mentality and feature exaggerated and bizarre action sequences.

'Aggro Dr1ft': A Visually Stunning Journey Through Miami's Thug Life

Harmony Korine's "Aggro Dr1ft" is a visually stunning, abstract ode to the thug life set in Miami. Shot in thermal lens, the film features neon colors and captures details that make the characters seem undeniably real. However, the dialogue is banal and repetitive, and the story is clichéd. The film's trippy visuals and unique imagery create an experiential dimension, but the voiceover and basic dialogue hinder its potential for psychedelic abstraction. While visually rapturous, "Aggro Dr1ft" falls short of becoming a truly transcendent work.
