I have ever scene.
Traffic is above average on every level and that is why it is the best film of the year.
Traffic has been termed 'an epic film about the drug war' and that is what it is. The film is as wide as it needs to be in tackling such a large topic yet it focuses on a group of strong characters that keep the feel of the movie tight, and the viewer captivated on the screen. The film takes in all perspectives of the drug problem, so it is neither left or right leaning. Also the film should be enjoyable to all age groups because there are strong characters representing 3 different generations. Steven Soderbergh made his name as an auteur with one of the first commercially successful independent films - Sex, Lies, and Videotape.
