Traffic
It is an exciting look at the fight against drug war in America. One of those thrilling stories is that the Supreme Court judge in Ohio has been appointed by the president as the country's chief drug judge and the disaster happens when the man later discovers that his daughter is addicted to heroin. Another case involving two agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration is trying to reach the wife of a drugged man named Baron who is trying to get his property again.

A little masterpiece, at best, but for any other filmmaker, this would be a career highlight, while it's also easy to see how most other filmmakers would turn it into a dull, obvious harangue.

Tons of drug use, violence, and depressing stories.

Soderbergh's jazzed stylistics can be smartly entertaining. Without them, an uneven movie like Traffic might seem more of a mélange than it already is.

It is such a complex film yet artfully done in such a way that you cannot help but sit back and admire it.

"Traffic" leaps into growing gorges between profit and principle and, from a law perspective, questions the sanity of ramming heads into walls of cocaine bricks. It remains one of the Zeroes' preeminent epics even after policy cinema's shift to terrorism.

The promise of Sex, Lies, and Videotape has been fulfilled.

A fascinating look at how we're winning and losing the "war" on drugs.

It leaves one feeling restless and dissatisfied.

It's wise about different kinds of addiction and concepts of family, about the folly, futility and hypocrisy of anti-drug 'wars', and about the awful human cost of it all. And it grips like a vice from start to end.

I don't see this slightly better-than-average drug thriller, with slightly better-than-average direction by Steven Soderbergh, as anything more than a routine rubber-stamping of genre reflexes.

Director Steven Soderbergh is riding one of the hottest streaks in the movie world.
