ET's Peter Coyote plays a much different role in this. Lethal Weapon's Danny Glover is more of a sideline in this.

The Gnosis Queen Reviews "Deadly Drifter"

Diane D. Timothio | 10/26/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Deadly Drifter, is a fantastic movie. I find

a Gnostic Christian theme, running entirely

through it, from beginning, to end. The script

is fabulous, and symbolic, in my opinion, and

is an early version of The Matrix. Again, as

in the movie "Small Time", we have an Indian

man, very knowledgeable, and somewhat magical,

who shares his views about life, with Peter

Coyote's character. Tommy the tourist,

obviously a dark force, is eliminated, due to

his evil inclinations. I believe he represents

an Archon of the Demiurge, of Gnostic texts.

The Old Man, is the Demiurge. The commissioner

I believe, represents the True God, who none

of the characters ever meet, due to their

hylic, and psychic states. The characters meet

their demise, and are eventually reincarnated.

They come together on the beach, where they

have a barbecue, and talk about old times.

Peter Coyote's character, (now in the Pneumatic

Condition)- finds the way out..The Way Out Of

The Material Illusion.

This movie is filled with symbolism, and is

well worth watching many times."
