Synopsis "Breathtakingly stylish." -New York Post Traffic examines the effect of drugs as politics, business, and lifestyle. Acting as his own director of photography, Steven Soderbergh employs an innovative, color-coded cinematic treatment to distinguish the interwoven stories of a newly appointed drug czar and his family, a West Coast kingpin's wife, a key informant, and cops on both sides of the U.S./ Mexican border. Rarely has a film so energetic and suspenseful presented a more complex and nuanced view of an issue of such international importance. Instantly recognized as a classic, Traffic appeared on more than 200 critics' ten-best-lists, and earned 5 Academy Award® nominations.

Empire Review TRAFFIC (CRITERION) - 3.75 out of 5  (9/29/2002) Criterion's double DVD set of Steven Soderbergh's TRAFFIC finally does justice to one of the most misunderstood high-profile films of the last few years. Despite all of its awards and its remarkable box office success, many were disappointed when they did not get just another rehash and "update" of THE FRENCH CONNECTION (1971) or Brian De Palma's SCARFACE (1983). Steven Gaghan wrote the screenplay adaptation of the British TV minI-series TRAFFIK that deals with the multi-layered dilemma o   more >> Customer Review Criterion does it again!!! - 5 out of 5  (1/1/2003) Great movie, Great DVD. Simple as that!!!!!   more >> Customer Review Wonderful presentation - 4.25 out of 5  (8/27/2002) It's wonderful to have recent movies presented like this with loads of deleted scenes and additional filmed material. Far preferable to the standard "Making of . . ." superficial bits of thespian puff that pass for background interest. Pretty good movie too, but if you're seen the British TV series "Traffik", from which the plot is derived, you'll ache for the sharp teeth of the original, which have been everywhere filed flat here. The ultimate truth about the pointlessness of The War against   more >> Customer Review Fine Special Edition for a gripping drama - 4.75 out of 5  (6/7/2002) It's nice that Criterion keeps on releasing some recent movies every once and a while in a nice package. (When are they going to release The Game on Criterion, like they did on LD?) This is also the case with Traffic. One customer, whose name I won't mention, sounds like he is overreacting a bit, when reviewing this film and DVD. Distracting? Self-indulgent? Soderbergh showing off? Well, I think, and probably most of us too, NOT. That review doesn't do justice to the movie and to the DVD. Maybe   more >>
