I went to see Traffic on Saturday and I was a bit bored and I didn’t really think that it should have been nominated for so many Oscars. The film follows Robert Wakefield a Drugs commissioner who is newly appointed to the post and is on a trial period. The movie look at the different ways the police deal with drugs and the issues relating to drugs.
Without giving to much away it seems as if there’s a few different stories going on all with the same end result. It was a clever device to keep audience interest by the Director Steven Soderbergh but I would have preferred of the story was a bit more linear.
I thought Michael Douglas was good in this movie and the supporting cast of Catherine Zeeta Jones (Helen), Luis Guzman (Ray Castro) were worth mentioning.
It was a good film but I have seen better and I did think it dragged on a bit, but some good acting and worth watching just too see what the hype was about
