In yet another telling, it’s the fable of an idealistic, ideological warrior upending the War on Drugs, freeing the people from state tyranny to pursue their own hedonic thrill. In another, it’s about a fugitive fronting a monumental criminal enterprise, on the run from a frantic manhunt, furtively bumming Wi-Fi from coffee shops and sleeping in a succession of dreary lodgings.
