If you are a hard core movie fan - this a must.
Traffic is an intense contemporary thriller set in the world of drug trafficking.
It personifies the risks and showdowns of the drug trade through a series of storylined vignettes which personalize the potent nature of its outcome. It is raw, rough and rugged. In the film, the war on drugs takes place on many different levels in many different countries - Mexico, Washington, Cinncinati. Traffic gives the movie-goer a sense of craziness of it all, juxtaposing comedy and drama, honesty and perversion. He heightens the impact with the use of a hand-held camera which Mr. Director himself operated.
