Traffic

This would have to be the biggest disappointment in a movie since Eyes Wide Shut. I had really wanted to see this because of the actors involved, the award nominations and Oscar buzz it had received and because the commercials made it look exciting.

Wrong....oh so painfully wrong.

The story lines (3 separate yet interwoven story lines all having to do with the drug trade) were nothing new. The film style, using different colored tint to allow you to follow the separate stories made me think they were implying the audience was stupid and couldn’t follow along. The acting wasn’t that great. To be quite blunt - this movie sucked - and I can’t begin to imagine how it’s getting such good reviews.

Worst of all - it was boring. So utterly and completely, mind numbing boring. I am only thankful that I didn’t have to sit in an uncomfortable theater during this drawn out ordeal.
