All scores given by critics have been converted to a 10-point scale. Explosive entertainment, with the tension and volatility of its subject matter. Soderbergh's story, from a screenplay by Stephen Gaghan, cuts between these characters so smoothly that even a fairly complex scenario remains clear and charged with tension. It is a remarkable achievement in filmmaking, a beautiful and brutal work. A stunning film.
Traffic is a huge, determined movie in every way.
Tackles the war on drugs from a kaleidoscope of perspectives. The rare Hollywood epic that dares to entertain an audience by engaging the world. Soderbergh is too knowing to offer easy solutions. Sinfully watchable ensemble movie. Some of them may yet still.
