Hollywood sub-culture trash. Washed out colors, lifeless plot, and above all, boring. This is the kind of movie the Academy raves about just because it is different. Well, different doesn't necessarily mean brilliant, and certainly not in this case.

I found the camera work distracting, and the lack of plot disappointing. After all the hype, I thought it would be better.

I really thought this movie was quite exciting. Interesting subject matter. Makes us think more about cloning or not.

Wow! I really loved this movie, even though it was kind of hard to follow in some ways. A really nice (?) way to show the drug-problem between Mexico and USA. Helene, 17.

Director Steven Soderbergh gives us a different look in presenting this movie as he is the camera man as well as director. The cast and story is excellent. A movie well worth having in your collection.

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
I thought this movie was well done, and that the main part of the story was the anguish over the daughter using drugs and her father feeling so helpless. A very timely story which I thought was presented very expertly.

Realistic movie seem real but the stories are hard to follow in a sense that it goes really nowhere... Benicio Del Toro is impressive but the rest where are they?

I'm a dutch student in architecture planning to design, an eshteblishment for the prescripted providence of narcotics to drug addicts, for my finals. I found the scene with Micheal Douglas changing his speech very inspiring.

It was an intriguing plot. Some scenes were disturbing. It was too long. I found myself saying 3/4 of the way through... when is this going to be over. How it reached academy standards I don't know. Not recommended if you want to be entertained.

This was the best movie I have seen in a long time. Everything from the script to the editing was fantastic. Some say that they didn't like how 'choppy' it was, but that just adds to the effect of the movie.

Absolutely a wonderful and thought-provoking piece of work. The dark and complex world of drugs is affictively depicted with gritty reality. There are no good-guy/bad-guy Hollywood characters. Amazing, honest performances. Not for everyone, due in part to its documentary-feel camera work. I just watched it on video-tape and it was the best rental I have seen in a year.

Brilliant directing, all I have to say!... Well, we could also add this movie provides a picture of the drug-business under every aspect possible. From the small smuggler, to the top-class rich family, to the police forces involved with corruption... everything's in it! And it works!! Benicio Del Toro is EXCELLENT!!

THIS IS WHAT WE CALL A MOVIE. Forget about everything, just sit in your couch with nothing else to do than whatch what's going on on your screen. Don't watch it in a hurry, and don't watch it if you wish to see a superficial movie. Trafic is an original creation in the whole thing. From the technic that are using the cameramans to the way they treated a subject that might be boring in a movie these days. Drugs are everywhere, for everyone who wants it, but guys, don't forget there's always something wrong somewhere... And Trafic show us more truly than other stupid productions of Hollywood what's really going on up there. A movie for OPEN MIND people only... well I guess so

An extremely important film with a message. This should be mandatory viewing for children in high schools. If this does not scare the... out of you, nothing will! This should have won the oscar for best film... Clearly in years to come this will be the picture most people remember!

Traffic "C'est formidable! " It's the reality among our society. How drugs can affect the whole planet and reduce life. You must see it and get the tape or DVD when it comes out. Best movie by M. Douglas

A Must See! It is a film both socially conscious and beautifully shot. Steven Gaghan undertakes the entire process of the drug war in America and serves it up as a wake up call to all Americans. The best movie I've seen this year.

This was one of the best films that I've seen in a long time. It is a film that all parents of teens should watch. It opened my eyes wide regarding the importance of being there for our children... of participating in their life.

Cinematography is very unique using colours, closeups, and hand-held effects for different scenes/moods. The movie itself doesn't spoon feed you; it is put together in a very different manner. A definite must see.

You know what... I really enjoyed this movie. The only thing that it really lacked was a strong plot. But the acting, directing, and story were great. The mexican thats the good guy is pretty cool... And Sheen does a wicked job trying to prevent his daughter from becoming a crackwhore! Go see it!!!

B-Grade movie all the way! Moreover, this "made-for-TV" movie would best describe the poor quality, story-line and acting. I walked out (disappointed) 20 minutes prior to the ending. Michael Douglas was very non-descript in his character. Wait for the video if you must see it at all.

digiosia@ - age: 36-49
Not too impressed. A documentary type movie is not what I expected. I thought this would be more action packed with more of a plot. The only thing I can take from this, is the realization of how much rich kids are involved in the drug game and their parents remain clueless about it. We got a lot of Jennifer Lopez, but not enough Salma H.

I just saw Traffic and think that it was a great movie. Really, it's a collection a great little scenes. From Benicio Del Toro's bar scene (hilarious), to a lunch scene w/ Catherine Zeta Jones and her girlfriends. A terrific cast. The story was a little difficult to follow.

Very good movie. The soundtrack is awesome, and the camerawork seems sloppy at first, but together they give the movie a tention that really works. A definite MUST SEE. And the story holds up very well, unlike most movies these days.

I found it to be an interresting collage of Mexican geography, details about drug trade and its implications; a crude reality and a never changing display of greed. Nicely filmed as a dream-nightmare setting of filtered effects.

What is the big deal about this movie... It is so bad... All the hipe about Micheal Dougles and his wife when it's that Portorican guy that "makes" the movie. The Mexican scenes are so noseating that my Mom had to get out to vomit (no kidding). Micheal Douglas's role is so unimportant that they could have cut it out. It is a BAD movie.

Absolutely the best film to be made in a very long time. I feel it slams all of the "American Propaganda" and gives a true and honest look at the failed "Drug War" in America. There is no typical Hollywood crap in this movie. (ie: too many explosions, sweet love scenes, and overdone ammounts of blood and guts). The cinematography is fresh, interesting and fantastic! The stories are neatly woven, with no loopholes or loose strings. A very brave and fun film - was it REALLY 2 1/2 hours long? Artistic, open, honest and moving. If you're a lover of films, you'll love this!!!

Absolutely sucks... Another boring example of U.S. Propaganda. So full of stereotypes, nearly impossible to keep track. Deprivable camera work and storytelling. Don't waste your time.

Not the great movie that averyone seems to think it is. The artistic liberties with color and camera work distract from the story line. Mike Douglas' emotional outbusts in all the predictable places do not Oscar material make.

Geez... Only one car blew and there's been only one serious fusillade in 2h27 min, I have been screwed big time! Seriously, I can figure out that people you judge the quality of a movie by the number of meaningless action scenes didn't enjoyed Traffic but those are usually so well served by Holywood that they aren't in a position to complain... If you want your daily dose of special FX, then go somewhere else. However, if you are still able to make the effort to listen to a story (long but intelligent) than there is good chances that you will be amazed by Traffic. The movie wasn't perfect and perhaps the end was a bit too "american" yet I do believe that this is the kind of movie which should be produced way more often.

I missed the first 15 minutes of the show, but it is good to in the sense that it shows what the real life is like in drugs and how a person can become heartless to save someone you love, by hook or by crook.
