All scores given by critics have been converted to a 10-point scale. Explosive entertainment, with the tension and volatility of its subject matter. A stunning film. It is a remarkable achievement in filmmaking, a beautiful and brutal work. 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.
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. Sinfully watchable ensemble movie. Soderbergh is too knowing to offer easy solutions. Some of them may yet still.
