"In DRIFTING, Francis Ng play Brother Fai, a hophead fresh out of the joint, barely ekes out his existence with other unfortunates, huddled together in jerrybuilt wooden huts in the poorest area of the city. Jun Li is tight-lipped to reveal Fai's misfortunes (as a defiance against sensationalism), who is dismally alone, no home, no family, we only get wind that he has lost a son (the cause of death is moot), and this bereavement is allayed when he becomes pally with a young, vocally-challenged runaway Muk (Or), their father-son rapport undergirds the emotional weight of the film, near the end, Li even conjures up a case of prosopopoeia to plead for Fai's utter dejection and drug-addled taedium vitae."
